Check out the FileReference at
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/langref/index.html 

 

Brief overview below.

 

_fileRef : FileReference;

//set a filename

_filename : String = 'jptest.jpg';

 

//set a URL

var urlReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest();

urlReq.url = whatever your URL is + _filename;//

//set up a bunch of handlers for progress, errors etc, then

                        setUpHandlers(_fileRef);

                        _fileRef.download(urlReq, _filename);

 

 

Do the above first when the user clicks a button or similar (just to
keep it simple) then implement it into a right click menu.  If I
remember correctly when I was testing downloads, even though I hard
coded the URL while testing, if I ran it locally it never worked. Deploy
it and test it from there.

Has anyone done anything like this? I'm looking for examples. Thanks.
