Just provide a URL that calls a JSP?Servlet that streams the file back. That's how we've done it.

I can successfully download a file from a remote url where a file is being stored on disk, but I wish to load a file being stored as a blob in the database. It seems silly to extract the file from the database, write it temperarily to disk and then initiate the flash download. Is there a way to make the file available for download without first writing it to the servers file system? I would be using java for any backend work required and am currently using a servlet with the apache commons fileUpload 1.1 jar to do file uploads. The flash 8 documentation indicates that the download signature is as follows: public download(url:String, [defaultFileName:String]) : Boolean Which leads me to believe there is no alternative. -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!
