Hi all,
A client has asked for something with the same functionality as this:
www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/tweenies/gametime/jointhetweenies/
Bascially it's a kid's thing where you are told to save a picture of
yourself called "me.jpg" in a directory on your hard drive called
"temp", and then flash supposedly incorporates it into the animation
without uploading it to a server.
I've never really seen this done elsewhere, and I can't even get that
Tweenies one to work on my pc (and certainly not on the mac, but that
doesn't suprise me).
Obviously I want to go back to them and advise them that's it's a bad
idea, and we should be uploading the picture rather than getting Flash
to read straight off the user's hard-drive, but I want to be clear about
exactly why it can't / shouldn't be done.
I suspect it's something that's prevented by the added security of
service pack 2 or is it something that's stopped by newer version of the
flash player?
Can anyone advise?
Cheers,
Mark.
