Force flash to open file download box in front of the flash movie

Folks,
I'm making a dvd title using flash to auto start when people pops the dvd disc in.
I have a button 'Click here to download the movie' and clicking the button should pop up a file download box so people can save the movie file(.mov) to their desktop.
Problem is that the file download box shows up behind the flash movie so people won't be able to see the download box since it's hidden behind the flash. This is critical since I intend the flash to open as a full-screen mode.
Is there a way to force the flash to open the download box in front of the flash movie?

I tried getURL and fscommand ("exec", "filename.exe") and even fileReference commands to try different way of linking the movie file, and they all open download box behind the flash.

Please help~~~

Please do not post the same topic in multiple forums. The only thing I can suggest is when they click on the button to download, you take flash out of full screen while they download the video, you can use fileReference to control and monitor the download. Use a listener object to monitor when download is complete, then set flash back to full screen.

How are you scripting the full screen?
