You may need to involve the server to accomplish this. I typically get this behavior by streaming content through a server side page that sets the Content-Disposition header to "attachment; filename=someFile.txt". That header is what lets the browser know it should display the [Save][Open] dialog. Ont the Flex side, I just invoke the server-side page with navigateToURL().
