How to download a file to user's harddisk?

[WilcMan]

I hope the answer to the following is simple:

I'm trying to download a simple .txt. file to the user's harddisk out of Flash.
I made a button with an action that says
GET URL
address.com/textfile.txt

but:

The textfile opens in a browser-window! I want the textfile to be downloaded to the user's harddisk. What am I doing wrong?
I tried to zip (self-extract) the textfile (for zipped files won't open in a browser-window), but then my textfile was 88K. (original 8K), so that isn't the
way.

Could you help me out?
Thanks very much in advance!

Try saving the file as .doc
But as far as I knoew the .txt file should have downloaded??

I would agree using the doc ext. should work. But who knows. The only sure fire way I can think of would be to zip it. Regards, Bill
