I had the same problem with my app. Once we shifted to flash player 10 my
downloads would keep giving the error. I¹d generate a file on the user
click and then automatically start the download. From what I learnt it was a
security thing added in, to start the download event it requires user
interaction. I fixed it by added a message after the file gets created, once
the user selects ok, the download starts. Its not the prettiest solution,
but it works.
