I would guess that saving to File.documentsDirectory offers best chance of avoiding any enterprise security restrictions

Thanks Sean. That's fine -- as long as they can originally download it to view 
it.

I know that schools usually have a temp drives, that get cleared on reboot.

My enterprise Flex desktop web app (yet to be released) has a feature
allowing users to download a user guide for the application.

Since this file gets stored on a user's hard drive (rather than cache
memory), I wonder if anyone ever ran into problems with an enterprise not
allowing their employees to download a file from the internet to their hard
drive (for example, the IT department blocks this kind of functionality)?

If so, I could change the web app to attaching the file in an e-mail and
sending it to them instead.

Wondering if anyone has an opinion one way or the other which way to go
here.
