You could have flash call a CFM page to Load the image and the CFM page could use a CFContent tag to stream a file from another location. This will make it not-secure, but .... Remember Flash is client-side so it can only access things via URLs (as far as I know)... Unless you get into more Flex stuff and data services probably.

The app requires that the path to each image be pointed as an absolute URL (for example: <http://www.somesite.com/images/image1.jpg> http://www.somesite.com/images/image1.jpg ). However, the project requires (for security reasons) that the images reside in a non-accessible directory on the server (for example: c:\clientfiles\someSiteFiles\image1.jpg). I have Win 2003, and have tried an IIS virtual directory mapping to this non-accessible directory to "/somesiteFiles" without luck. Is there a way to make this work, or are there other flash image display apps that would allow this?
