How can I make a .pdf file downloadable?

Maybe I'm not clear about the way you are getting your URL but why are you putting all this code on the button and not on your main timeline:

button_1.onRelease = function() {
getURL("FlashPlatform.pdf", "_blank")
};

Pdf is only like 200kb in size. Very small

Zip up the PDF.

This is the code i have:

import flash.net.FileReference;

var listener:Object = new Object();

listener.onSelect = function(file:FileReference):Void {
trace("onSelect: " + file.name);
}

listener.onCancel = function(file:FileReference):Void {
trace("onCancel");
}

listener.onOpen = function(file:FileReference):Void {
trace("onOpen: " + file.name);
}

listener.onProgress = function(file:FileReference, bytesLoaded:Number, bytesTotal:Number):Void {
trace("onProgress with bytesLoaded: " + bytesLoaded + " bytesTotal: " + bytesTotal);
}

listener.onComplete = function(file:FileReference):Void {
trace("onComplete: " + file.name);
}

listener.onIOError = function(file:FileReference):Void {
trace("onIOError: " + file.name);
}

var fileRef:FileReference = new FileReference();
fileRef.addListener(listener);
var url:String = " http://www.macromedia.com/platform/whitepapers/platform_overview.pdf";
if(!fileRef.download(url, "FlashPlatform.pdf")) {
trace("dialog box failed to open.");
}
I have it attached to a button but it doesnt work. If I put this code on the actionscript layer the file downloads as soon as page opens and doesnt wait on you to hit the button to activate the download...not what i want lol
