Can anybody please help me with this?

Q: Does anybody know an easy way to make a file, program, doc, video, audio
file or ebook etc., download in flash when a user click's on a hyperlink.

Any help with this would be really appreciated.

If you simply want the user to be able to download a file, then on a button:

on (release) {
getURL ("http://www.domain name.com/file path", "_blank");
}

But I'm not sure that's what you meant when you say "download in flash". Can
you be a little more specific?

in addition - zip or stuff the file first:

www.winzip.com
http://www.stuffit.com/win/index.html

then - as shan mentioned - use the getURL in flash to point to the file on
server - user will be promted to download it.
