Download a file in AS3

[kindoki]

Hi guys,

I'm trying to do a very simple thing. To create a button that when pressed, a file is downloaded, a zip file for example. How do I do this in AS3??

I'm building an application using AIR, so I must use AS3... Browsers won't be used.

Thank you very much

Kin

You should be able to use it in AIR as flash.net.FileReference is not just limited to flex.
