Hi Daniel,
If I use your code as written, I get an IOError after closing the save() popup (i.e. your first example).

However, if I change the following line:
file.addEventListener( Event.OPEN, handle_saveFileSelect );
to this:
file.addEventListener( Event.SELECT, handle_saveFileSelect );

the problem goes away.

Hope that’s helpful,
Ian

Another limitation of this is that the dialog titles will say “upload” and “download”, which may be confusing to users who are just loading or saving a file on their local hard drive. Again though, these are just temporary measures until native dialogs are fully supported.

James, the sample project doesn’t add any significant functionality. The only thing it does differently is add text fields so that the string you write to the disk can be customized, and when you read from the disk the text will appear in the second TextArea component.

Would the sample FileSavePanel.mxml add any different functionality?
