You need the File and FileStream Classes... first load what you need as a binary URLLoader, retrieve the ByteArray, and then save it to the location you want with something like this:

var file:File = new File(File.applicationStorageDirectory.nativePath+"/myfile.jpg");
var fileStream:FileStream = new FileStream();
fileStream.open(file, FileMode.WRITE);
fileStream.writeBytes(bytes);
fileStream.close();

Where "bytes" is the bytearray you loaded...
