FILE DOWNLOAD CLASS?

Question

Hi I am working on a webpage that allows the user to download
files from the server. However i am not sure how to modify the code
to show the download status so the user knows its actually download
sumthing - i was under the impression that this is supposed to show
automatically - if so - whats wrong with my code that is not
allowing this to display?
the code i am using is as follows:
on(release){
import flash.net.FileReference;
var listener:Object = new Object();
listener.onSelect = function(file:FileReference):Void {
trace("onSelect: " + file.name);
listener.onCancel = function(file:FileReference):Void {
trace("onCancel");
listener.onOpen = function(file:FileReference):Void {
trace("onOpen: " + file.name);
listener.onProgress = function(file:FileReference,
bytesLoaded:Number, bytesTotal:Number):Void {
trace("onProgress with bytesLoaded: " + bytesLoaded + "
bytesTotal: " + bytesTotal);
listener.onComplete = function(file:FileReference):Void {
trace("onComplete: " + file.name);
listener.onIOError = function(file:FileReference):Void {
trace("onIOError: " + file.name);
var fileRef:FileReference = new FileReference();
fileRef.addListener(listener);
var url:String = "
http://www.website.com/thefile.jpg";
if(!fileRef.download(url, "thefilejpg")) {
trace("dialog box failed to open.");
In IE my photos download - but i dont see the download status
- same with mp3s
In FireFox - nothing happens at all even though i get the pop
up window asking the location to dowload the file.
help please!

Answer 1

this is good - i have done just that - but i noticed that the
download process only works in IE 7 and not previous IE's or
Firefox!!??
is this a known issue?...is there additional code needed to
make the FileRef class more browser friendly?
