I’m not a flash dev, but I’m turning to it to try and meet a requirement. I’m to allow a user to select a file on their computer, then pass it to my web application. I know it’s not possible to do this using Javascript, hence wanting to use flash.
First, is this possible? Second, can I get a pointer on how its done?
To clarify: I’m just looking for the path to the file. I don’t want to upload it.
Well it depends what you want to do with that file. There’s the FileReference object that will allow you to browse and upload a file to a server, and from there you can load it into your application. If you’re targeting Flash Player 10, then you have access to new api’s that will allow you to load the the files directly from the local machine.
