Can I download multiple files to a directory with Flash?

Question

In Flash, I can prompt the user for a location to save a file and write a file to that location. In my case, the user wants to download a large set of files. Is there a way to let the user choose a directory once and download a number of files into that directory without prompting the user for each file?

Answer 1

No, the security sandbox for the Flash Player will not allow for this. If you can do scripting on the server-side you may want to compress them into a ZIP archive first and then let the user download that single file.

Answer 2
