Flex : save a resource from url to hard drive?

How do I save a resource like "something.rar" from the web, like when it is located on a regular web page?

use FileReference.download(). There is a complete example shown at the adobe doc page.

Here's the basic idea:

var downloadURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.[yourDomain].com/SomeFile.pdf");
var file:FileReference = new FileReference();

// add listeners to `file` to catch errors, handle progress, etc
// (see adobe docs for a complete example of the possible listeners)

file.download(downloadURL, fileName);
