You want to save the file to the user's local PC? If the Flex app is running in the browser this is not possible due to security reasons. You can however use Flex 3 to write an app that will run in AIR and it will be able to save files to a local PC. Dimitrios Gianninas RIA Developer and Team Lead Optimal Payments Inc.
