Not Sure if this will work Dimitrios, But I seem to remember having similar issues and reading somewhere that the constructor of the Url Request expected a url as a string. var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://localhost <http://localhost/> : 7001/billing/ servlet/FileSvlt ") ; req.method = URLRequestMethod. GET; req.data = new URLVariables("operation=DOWNLOAD "); try { var fr:FileReference = new FileReference( ); fr.download( req ); } catch( e:Error ) { trace( "Download error: " + e.message ); } I double checked some code of mine and that's exactly how i got it working. Anyways, like I said, not sure if it will help, You probably have already tried it. Brian..

Ok I switch the code around a bit and it looks more like this now: var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest() ; req.url = "http://localhost: 7001/billing/ servlet/FileSvlt "; req.method = URLRequestMethod. GET; req.data = new URLVariables("operation=DOWNLOAD "); try { var fr:FileReference = new FileReference( ); fr.download( req ); } catch( e:Error ) { trace( "Download error: " + e.message ); } But it still doesn't work, my Java servlet doesn't get called at all. I have log messages in the service(), doGet() and doPost() methods and I see nothing. My upload works like a charm.

I have the code below to download a file from my J2EE server but it doesn't work. the dialog box to select the folder and file come up, click OK and nothing happens. I see no log on the server side, meaning it is not calling my servlet. Upload works. Any ideas? var params:URLVariables = new URLVariables( ); var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://localhost: 7001/billing/ servlet/FileSvlt "); req.method = URLRequestMethod. GET; req.data = new URLVariables("operation=DOWNLOAD&fileId=2"); var fr:FileReference = new FileReference( ); fr.download( req, "bla.txt" ); Dimitrios Gianninas RIA Developer Optimal Payments Inc.
