Problem linking to .zip download

[Maroneyi]

I have a button that is coded to dowload a .zip file on release.

My problem is that when it opens up the blank window, it gives that error message "FILE NOT FOUND" etc.

BUT.....
If you hit reload or put your cursor in the address and hit return, the file downloads no problem whatsoever.

Why is this?

And is there a fix? (It doesn't look very nice)

Wow, nevermind.
It works now.

I just hope that it is consistent.

Try on press instead? I've linked to .zips that way and it seems to work fine. otherwise post your code :)

Oops - cross post! Glad you sorted it.

Again, I am wrong.

Sorry everyone.

It only works if the blank window is open in the background.

So back to my first post, how can I fix this??

So code reads:
download_btn.onPress = function() {
getURL("evaluations.zip", "blank")
}

I have also tried it with onRelease and replaced "evaluations.zip" with "the actual URL to the file.
