MP3 & MPG Help Needed!!

[weilerino]

My client has some sound clips (MP3s) and a video clip (an MPG file) that they want to include on their site.

They don't want to embed it into the flash file, they want a button you click on and the video or sound is downloaded and played by the appropriate player...

I can't get it to work... I'm not sure what AS I should be using. I tried:

on (release) {
getURL ("media/clip1.mp3", "_blank");
}


But I can't get it to work...

Any help?

P.S. I'm still using Flash 5...

Try using _self, and use the complete path to the mp3. It should work the way you have it, but I have found that unless the sound file is in the root directory, sometimes they won't load. I think using _self will force the default player to launch. Using blank it's like telling it to open in a new browser.

getURL ("http://www.mysite.com/media/clip1.mp3", "_self");
