not really. it is much simple. 

  var appUrl:URLRequest = new URLRequest();
  appUrl.url = "http://blah.com/blah/blahblah";;
  appUrl.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
  
  var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
  variables.data = data;// file data
  variables.fName = name;// file name
  variables.fType = type;// file type  ex: text/csv
  appUrl.data = variables;
  
  flash.net.navigateToURL(appUrl, "_top");

you will send the data to the server and let the browser handle the
data that is returned. you do not have to wait for the data to
download or anything else. your job is done right here.
SharedObjects are not an ideal solution for this case.

It doesn't really have to be that many steps, but you're essentially 
correct.
You can send the binary data to the server via a POST, and the result of 
the POST call can be a "save to:" link.
But yes, it has to go all the way up to the server and back down.  My 
point is that it can all be part of the same web call.

but that would involve sending the binary data to the server, waiting
for the result, then using flash to initiate the download from the
server, right?

[rueter007]

you can save binary data from a web application with the help of a server.
