Although some browsers seem to offer the option of downloading Flash files, it's a bit tricky for basic users like mine. I wonder if we couldn't have a handy download link somewhere in Flash Node nodes.

I have the same requirement. How can we do that?

Well after spending a lot of time, I WAS able to create a download link with flash node. However, when I click the download link, it converts the forward slashes in the path with '_' (underscores) and prefixes the full path with all the folders and subfolder names specified in the path name making the file name way too long. Eventually it truncate the file name and you never get to see the extension of the file. For example, a file at path "sites/files/flash/folder1/A large file name which is the case for most of my files.mp3" should be downloaded with "A large file name which is the case for most of my files.mp3" is actually presented to be downloaded as "sites_files_flash_folder1_A large file name which is the case for most of my" (the name is truncated and you see no extension.

I downloaded the file and then renamed it post fixing .mp3 and played it. I played nicely. But the question is why drupal is spitting out this kind of behavior. How to control it?

I wish the creator of the module can help us. We have been waiting for months for the solution...

I will keep searching...

Let me know if somebody is interesting in finding out how I included the download link in node it self...

Thanks

Finally, I was able to add Download Link to Flash Node successfully.

Let me know me if anyone is interested to know about it.

Thanks
