Point out custom directory is not best practices better you can use File.applicationStorageDirectory so no need worry about security and permission related issue.

    var file:File = File.applicationStorageDirectory.resolvePath("new/new.apk");
    fileStream.open(file, FileMode.WRITE);
    fileStream.writeBytes(fileData, 0, fileData.length);
    fileStream.close();
    trace("The file is written.");
    trace(file.nativePath); // you can find where it is stored.

Suggestion always use Async mode file operation so that UI freeze won't happen even if file size is too large.
