file I/O support

[paulf]

I have an application that requies me to write an HTML file to the client. Is there any browser-independent support for file writing in SmartClient? I'd like to avoid special-casing the code (IE - ActiveObjects, Firefox file extension, ...)

Also, is there a form control for selecting a directory on the client's machine?

UploadItem only allows pointing to a specific file.

Thanks,
paul

Unless your requirements are pretty unusual, we'd recommend just allowing the user to save the file as a normal download (Save As.. dialog).

Otherwise, the simplest approach might be to package the whole application as an Adobe AIR application in order to get multiple types of privileges at once.
