AS2 button doesn't work for downloads in Chrome anymore

Hi,

I have a simple button that opens a blank page to download a file, it always worked in Chrome until a few days.

Here is a test page I made to illustrate the problem: http://vipultima.com/test_download.html

The AS2 script on the button is:

on (release) {

                    getURL("http://www.vipultima.com/clepsiarecords/test.zip", "_blank");

          }

All it does is open a blank page and the download doesn't start. The only way to make it start is to hit refresh on that blank page.

Everything works fine in Firefox and like I said it used to work perfectly in Chrome til just a few days ago.

Thank you

David
