I am working on a web app and need help to be pointed in the right direction:

I want to download a file (they are mp3s).  
choose directory to save as  
I want flash to meter the download, showing the progress.  
When the file is downloaded, it is deleted off of the server (using php, i know how to do this, but how can i tell from flash when the file is downloaded?)

Any ideas or places for me to start looking?  
Thanks
