Aman is correct. Apollo will be able to do it but it's still in pre-release form. There are workaround that involve using additional techniques and technologies. These workarounds obviously have drawbacks. One is bouncing the file off a server (which requires an upload and then download). The second has flash send the data to another technology (like Java) which can save the file (I've got a link to this technique on my site: http://nondocs.blogspot.com/2007/04/faqyou-cant-do-that.html)

You can copy data to your clipboard and then paste it into a file. I don't think you can step out of the flash sandbox and create files on the local disk due to security constraints.

Hi, I've been working with Flex for a month now, and I am currently facing a problem I don't have any leads on how to address. Basically I want to let the user save the data on a grid or chart to its local drive (the user should be also able to choose the destination file path). I have an XML object with all the info, I just need to know how to provide a "Save as XML" feature. Can someone give me a hand or at least a hint on what to do with this one? Thanks!
