download button

[12bok]

I need to create a button that will download a pdf file from an all Flash site. I'm guessing this is a pretty easy thing to do. But everytime I search for instructions I get everything but. I know how to create buttons, just need the scripts/code to make the download work. Can someone point me in the right direction?

upload your pdf file to your web hosting server, find its exact URL e.g http://www.domain.com/subdomain/yourfile.pdf - and put this into the flash button like a normal URL, it will then download on prompt when u click the button

actually, it may NOT download. often, using ie, a pdf is opened in the browser with acrobat and not really downloaded unless the viewer chooses to do so. if you really want to make sure they download it to disk, (and to save yourself some bandwidth) zip it up. a zip file will always download.

ok then try putting this in your button instead ftp://www.domain.com/subdomain/yourfile.pdf
