multiple file downloader

[mdalziel]

I'm trying to create a flash downloader that prompts the user to choose a directory and then downloads several files into that directory. As far as I can see this is impossible, but if anyone knows how it can be done please let me know. The flash can either be run from a browser or downloaded if that makes any difference.

thanks

also, if it cant be done at all, can someone suggest the best method for downloading multiple files from a php server without having the user set the location more than once?
