Hi Siva,
If you know the link you are trying to download you can just parse the
straight html text, get the link, then submit a URLRequest for it.
If the user is browsing to arbitrary pages and clicking arbitrary
things, you can do a hack solution by parsing every page he lands on
then when you detect a mouseclick (not sure if this is possible within
the HTMLRenderer, but if it's not you can render an invisible Sprite
over it and detect mouseClick), then presenting a little dialog with all
the possible <a href>'s that you parsed out for the user to select...
Also, If it's a straight <a href> tag and not some server side script
that's serving up the file, I think the HTMLRenderer's location property
changes to the file URL (blah.zip) when user clicks, so when you detect
non-web extensions in the HTMLRenderer just initiate a URLRequest for it...
hope that helps,
Lushen
