I guess you are using (at least) FlashPlayer 9 in your project. Please ensure you are targeting the same version in your embed-tag.

It is also possible to detect security errors.

file = new FileReference();
file.addEventListener(SecurityErrorEvent.SECURITY_ERROR, securityErrorHandler);
file.download("/images/imageOnServer.jpg");


function securityErrorHandler(event:SecurityErrorEvent):void
{
    trace("securityErrorHandler: " + event);
}

this is most likely a security error. Two things you can do are listen for security error events and secondly install the debug version of Flash player. Either one will give you enough info to identify the issue.
