Flex web application - downloading...

Flex FileReference class allows downloading of only?one file to the client at a time. Each time, the OS file browser interface pops?up and the user is expected to select location and file name to save the?downloaded file.Flex web application - downloading...

From what I have read you have two options.?None of them very nice.?One , allow the user to select the files he would like to download , send them out as one fat daddy zip file.?The second option is to cue up the selected downloads.?When one finishes , the other starts , basically daisy chaining them together.?However , you may be able to use javascript to get around this , I'm not sure I stay away from that stuff.

True, but if the second option is implemented, as you go through the queued

up files, each call to FileReference' download() method will bring up the OS

file download dialog box!
