I have a button that when you click it I want it to download a .pdf file, but because it's around 38MB, I don't want to use the getURL function (it opens a new window to load the pdf file and it takes quite a while to load), so I was wondering how should I put this in actionscript? I found this code from ActionScript 2.0 Classes - > flash.net package - > download but I can't get to make it work!! any help would be much appreciated!!!

Or possibly try compressing the file as small as possible. Adobe is very proprietary so many times you'll need to use either one of adobes advanced tools or maybe office to convert the file. This is one reason why I have always hated .pdf files.
