That's correct; with setPref you can only save to a pre-determined location.
What you want to do cannot be done in a shockwave context, because
security concerns are too grave. One cannot simply design a plugin
which allows files to be written to any random location on a given
hard drive.
I'd suggest having end users download a stub projector that includes
those Xtras, and then loads your shockfile via a goToNetMovie call.
That way you are not dealing with plugin security issues, so you'll
be able to export web pages.
That's about the only way to get it done, barring CGI programming
which then places the finished files an an FTP directory someplace
that users log in to retrieve them from, or that then opens htem in a
separate browser window for saving by the user. That would be
(probably) harder to do, of course.
Those are really about it for your options, though.
