Anyone can kindly tell me how to create a download link (for zipped file) in a
flash site that allows IE7 users to download without getting blocked by
security message?

The message says "To help protect your security, Internet Explorer blocked
this site from downloading files to your computer".

I've tried getURL("http://yourdomain.com/download/yourfile.zip","_blank") and
also without "_blank" but it wont' work. Always gets blocked.

When you click the warning and let IE download, the website gets refreshed and
goes back to "home" page (since the website is 100% flash-made)... Then, you
need to go all the way to the download page once again, which is not good...

Hope anyone can tell me how to solve this. A website like Corona Beer
(http://www.corona-extra.net/) uses a 100% flash site and allows IE7 users to
download zip files without getting blocked by security message. How do they do
it???

Thanks for your help!
