Menu error after a file download in IE7

Hi,
it is IE security issue, for some reason IE blocks the menu script
(javascript from flash).

We've found a workaround.
Use links like this one:

<a href="javascript:window.open('someFile.zip');void(0);">download link</a>

The link will open new temporary window, but the window will be
eliminated and replaced with a standard download dialog.

> When using IE7 (not sure about older version) if you click on a
link to download a file and then try moving over the flash menu, we
get a 'Internet Explorer Cannot Download. Unspecified Error'. This
does not happen in Firefox. Also, the menu gets cut off when you try
to view it after you download the file.
