Hi there, I'm trying to assign a button on my site to download a mov. file when
you click on it as opposed to loading and playing the mov. in the browser
window.

Does anyone know how this is achieved?

I think you could do this using PHP and LoadVars.

open notepad, paste this code in it, save the file as download.php
replace $filename and $path

then use loadVars in flash to load download.php and it should work.

$filename = "filename.mov";
$path = "/www/path/to/vid/";

$fp = fopen($path.$filename,"r");
$filedata=fread($fp,filesize($path.$filename));

fclose($fp);
header("Content-type: text/x-ms-iqy");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=".$filename);
print $filedata;
?>
