    Does anyone know a way to add a link in Flash that pops a "save window" in which the user could choose a place in the HD to save a specific file from the CD?

    Any plugins (a smarter shelexec or fstool)?

    I do need it to PC and Mac.

    Tks a lot.

    Asuming this is for a standalone cd projector.

    Just a quick idea; getUrl('nameofyour.doc','_blank')
    (in case the file is in the same folder as your swf)

    Or else
    getUrl('foldername\nameofyour.doc','_blank')

    Now I haven't tried it but I'm pretty sure it will open a browser which on it's turn pops up a download-dialog box. It doesn't work in case the end-user has a plugin to view the file (like: pdf, doc, qt) inside the browser. You'll have to zip it then.

    Let me know if it worked dude,
    Cheers,
