sorry, hit send too fast...

you can handle file upload in a regular html form, either open in a new window 
or displayed on the page before or after the flash form, but you need to 
manually work out a system for tracking widows and orphans. How you do this is 
usally about assigning some kind of unique transaction id then using scheduled 
tasks to check for people who haven't fulfilled the process and discarding 
their input... but this isn't very user friendly as the users might think they 
had completed the process... My advice: if everybody has to upload a file then 
start the process off with that step, only moving on to the flash form once 
done. Otherwise... mebbe some kind of "form center" where users can consult the 
status of their processes... good luck!
