Well that was just an example :)
Here's how to do it without the save file dialog:
private function plsLoaded(evt:Event):void {
trace("Application ::: plsLoaded");
var value:String = evt.currentTarget.data;
trace(value);
var f:File = File.applicationStorageDirectory;
f.url += "/playlist.pls";
trace(" - url: ", f.url);
trace(" - nativePath: ", f.nativePath);
var fs:FileStream = new FileStream();
fs.open(f, FileMode.WRITE);
fs.writeUTFBytes(plsData);
fs.close();
}
The above will create a file called "playlist.pls" on your desktop.
Some stuff on security:

From the above:
<quote>
AIR applications cannot modify content using the app: URL scheme.
Also, the application directory may be read only because of
administrator settings.
Unless there are administrator restrictions to the user's computer,
AIR applications are privileged to write to any location on the
user's hard drive.
Developers are advised to use the app-storage:/ path for local
storage related to their application.

To get to the application storage directory rather than the desktop,
in the above example, use:
var f:File = File.applicationStorageDirectory;

Hi Muzak,
This is not exactly what i want to do but it comes close (and i
cant test right now since i'm at work)
The whole 'prompt user for saving a file' i want to avoid, but the
below code looks like what i wan to do:
var f:File = evt.currentTarget as File;
trace(" - nativePath: ", f.nativePath);
// create filestream, open it and write data to file
var fs:FileStream = new FileStream();
fs.open(f, FileMode.WRITE);
fs.writeUTFBytes(plsData);
fs.close();
Thanks for the help, will let you know if it worked.
Sid
