i guess you could try this ...
If you have a button in the flash movie, use this actionscript in the code window (make sure the button is selected):

on (release) {
getURL ("filelocationofAVI.avi");
}

I hope that answered your question. I'm a beginner at actionscript, but I think that will work.

If you want it downloadable you will have to .zip it or something so it won't open in the browser or other default program.

Feb 6??? Doesn't matter if no-one ever reads this. I think I have a solution to the problem! You can try this script on your button and it might work:
Code: [ Select ]
on (release) {
  getURL("javascript:newin=window.open('about:blank', '_blank', 'width=500, height=500');newin.document.write('<embed SRC=\"movie.avi\" width=100% height=100%></embed>');", "_self");
}
  1. on (release) {
  2.   getURL("javascript:newin=window.open('about:blank', '_blank', 'width=500, height=500');newin.document.write('<embed SRC=\"movie.avi\" width=100% height=100%></embed>');", "_self");
  3. }

That would be to stream the movie, not download the movie.

the server needs to tell the browser to treat the file as a download

this is done in the response header(not the HTML kind but the basic communication between server and browser)

here is a description / code on how to do it in PHP

using Media player .... :D
you cant load a avi or mov file from flash. only .swf and .flv.
So you might consider first converting the avi into one of those file and then use them.
