Downloading PDFs

[jaredr]

I want to add a download PDF button in Flash. Can I do this without going outside Flash? Is this easy because I cannot find any documentation on this.<br><br>Cheers <br><br>JR

all you should have to do is create the button so that it links directly to the file.&nbsp;&nbsp;The way downloading works is that if a browser can't open a file in that browser then it will prompt you and ask if you want to save it to your computer.&nbsp;&nbsp;Since PDFs can't be read by browsers (as far as I know, anyhow) all you have to do is link strait to it like you would an html file.&nbsp;&nbsp;My experience is that you won't have to leave the flash site (because the requested site can't actually be &quot;opened&quot.&nbsp;&nbsp;Of course, the problem with this is the possibility of you being evil and uploading viruses or something.&nbsp;&nbsp;However, if you find that linking to a pdf file doesn't work, then just change it to a winzip file.&nbsp;&nbsp;Incidentally, you might want to get a simple book on html, because it is this kind of thing which is covered more in basic html scripting than in flash (at least, that's where I was able to learn about it).&nbsp;&nbsp;Good luck, and I hope it works for you.<br><br>Jonathan
