Hi,

I need to create a Flash-projector that is run from a CD. That part is quite
easily done.

But in the projector there should be a button that enables saving a PDF-file
from the CD to a location chosen by the user.
There is the fileReference-object in Flash 8, but it needs a full HTTP or
HTTPS-protocol URI-code for the file location and a file on CD cannot be
referred to by URI.

The other option is to use the getURL-command which actually seems to work but
as my client tried out a little piece Flash-projector it appeared only to allow
saving in My Documents-folder on PC. We think that it doesn't allow saving on
the Desktop because its Finnish name contains scandic letters and a friend of
mine suggested that it doesn't allow saving in any other location according to
the users operating rights on the operating system (Win XP).

The problem here is that I am creating a marketing CD and it should as
foolproof to use as possible. So downloading the PDF-file should be made as
easy as possible. So either one should be able to save anywhere one wants or I
should be able to suggest Desktop or My Documents as the default saving
location. The latter would be very handy anyway. To get things even more tricky
my client's clients will probably be Russians and use different character sets
than we do.
