I'm building an flex app that is basically a wrapper for a few websites. One of them is a google docs website, and I'm trying to get flex to allow downloads or popups or something that will allow me to do it. I've tried a whole bunch of solutions online and none of them have worked out. Here's the code so far:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:WindowedApplication xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
                       xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
                       xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"
                       width="100%" height="100%"
                        creationComplete="onCreationComplete()">

    <s:layout>
        <s:HorizontalLayout/>
    </s:layout>
    <fx:Style source="style.css"/>
    <fx:Script>
        <![CDATA[

            include "CustomHTMLLoader.as";

            private function onCreationComplete():void
            {
                // ... other stuff ...
                var custom:object;
                custom.htmlHost = new MyHTMLHost();
            }

        ]]>
    </fx:Script>
    <fx:Declarations>

                 source="assets/mbvlogo_black.png"/>
    </s:BorderContainer>
</s:WindowedApplication>

and the custom class code:

package 
{
    import flash.html.HTMLHost;
    import flash.html.HTMLWindowCreateOptions;
    import flash.html.HTMLLoader;

    public class MyHTMLHost extends HTMLHost
    {
        public function MyHTMLHost(defaultBehaviors:Boolean=true)
        {
            super(defaultBehaviors);
        }

        override public function createWindow(windowCreateOptions:HTMLWindowCreateOptions):HTMLLoader
        {
            // all JS calls and HREFs to open a new window should use the existing window
            return HTMLLoader.createRootWindow();
        }
    }
}

any help would be appreciated.
