Downloading file to local disk from server.

This method is quite simple to download any file from server.

navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.mysite/FileGodown/abc.zip"));

or

navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.mysite/FileGodown/abc.jpg"));

/*Browser will ask you for save or open file.*/

Another method is

var _file:FileReference=new FileReference();

 _file.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, ImageDownloading);

_file.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, FileIOErrorHandler);

var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(“http://www.mysite/FileGodown/abc.jpg”);

_file.download(request,fileName)

}

function ImageDownloading(e:Event):void

{

trace(“File downloaded.”)

}

/*Here you will get proper save window to save file. */
