Hi there, I created a flash slideshow and would like to have a feature to save the current picture to the hard disk (like ‘save as’ in IE). I was looking into something as follows:

```auto
getURL("javascript:document.execCommand('SaveAs', 1, 'save.jpg')", "_blank");

```

but, I first need to open the picture in the browser like this:

```auto
getURL(LocalLinkToPic, "_blank");

```

Is there any way to combine these so that with one click the user can save a jpg to disk. Or has anyone else run into this issue and have a better solution to this. Thanks.
