Will anyone tell me what’s wrong with this? I just can’t figure it out…:wt:

```auto
import flash.net.FileReference;
System.security.allowDomain("http://www.newopenart.com");
var listener = new Object();
var fileRef:FileReference = new FileReference();
fileRef.addListener(listener);
listener.onSelect = function(file:FileReference):Void {
 debug_txt.text = "onSelect: "+file.name;
};
listener.onCancel = function(file:FileReference):Void {
 debug_txt.text += newline+"onCancel";
};
listener.onOpen = function(file:FileReference):Void {
 debug_txt.text += newline+"onOpen: "+file.name;
};
listener.onProgress = function(file:FileReference, bytesLoaded:Number, bytesTotal:Number):Void {
 debug_txt.text += newline+"onProgress with bytesLoaded: "+bytesLoaded+" bytesTotal: "+bytesTotal;
};
listener.onComplete = function(file:FileReference):Void {
 debug_txt.text += newline+"onComplete: "+file.name;
};
listener.onIOError = function(file:FileReference, errorString:String):Void {
 debug_txt.text += newline+"onIOError: "+file.name;
};
listener.onSecurityError = function(file:FileReference, errorString:String):Void {
 debug_txt.text += "onSecurityError: "+file.name+" errorString: "+errorString;
};
var [url:String = "http://www.newopenart.com/test01/Compositions/Arabesque1_igr.igp](http://www.kirupa.com/forum/String)";
DL.onRelease = function() {
 if (!fileRef.download(url, "Arabesque1_igr.igp")) {
  debug_txt.text += "dialog box failed to open.";
 }
};

```

I get the window to download but it never downloads anyting… why is that?

HELP ME, SOMEONE, PRETTY PLEASE!!!
