Flex's FileReference.save() can only be called in a user event handler — how can I get around this?

Question

I need to call FileReference.save() after a web service call has completed, but this method has a restriction: \"In Flash Player, you can only call this method successfully

Answer 1

After struggling for that for well, a couple hours I found a workaround: you can use both mouseDown AND mouseUp events instead of just click.

For instance: s:Button mouseDown="prepare_PDF()" mouseUp="save_PDF()"

Works fine for me!

Happy coding!
