Need Help with openWithDefaultApplication()

i can open adobe illustrator files stored locally on hard drive calling openwithdefaultapplication() on file path.

 

however when select file stored on server doesn't work because converts file location file path

 

e.g http://someserver/images/image5.ai

 

becomes http:\\someserver\images\image5.ai, , obviosuly, file doesn't exist , error saying so.

 

so how can call openwithdefaultapplication() on file stored on server?

you can this

 

var loader:urlloader = new urlloader();
loader.dataformat = urlloaderdataformat.binary;
loader.addeventlistener(event.complete,
    function(e:event):void
    {
        var air:file = file.userdirectory.resolvepath("downloads/adobeair.dmg");
        var fs:filestream = new filestream();
        fs.open(air, filemode.write);
        fs.writebytes(loader.data);
        fs.close();
        air.downloaded = true;
    });
var req:urlrequest = new urlrequest("http://airdownload.adobe.com/air/mac/download/latest/adobeair.dmg");
loader.load(req);

 

if post answers question or helps, please kindly mark such.
