Hi, 

I am using the Flash 8 filereference API for an administrator module of a web 
application. 
The Server Side Script is done in DotNet 

The script on Oinam was of great help to understand the upload functionality...

I've rather used a slightly different technique, but it seems to work perfectly 
fine on a machine without any user or windows authentication. 

The application however doesn't work when I deploy it on a read-write box with 
an authentication popup. 
As soon as the Upload method is triggered, I get a windows authentication popup 
and even after using the correct username/password the application freezes. 

- I have found the following information on the Flash 8 Help, but frankly 
couldn't make much sense outta it, could you guys please tell me how I can 
solve this. 

/// --- From Flash 8 Help --- ///
Note: If your server requires user authentication, only SWF files running in a 
browser--that is, using the browser plug-in or ActiveX control--can provide a 
dialog box to prompt the user for a user name and password for authentication, 
and only for downloads. For uploads that use the plug-in or ActiveX control, 
and for uploads and downloads that use the stand-alone or external player, the 
file transfer fails.

When using this method, consider the Flash Player security model: 

Not allowed if the calling SWF file is in an untrusted local sandbox. 
The default is to deny access between sandboxes. A website can enable access to 
a resource by adding a cross-domain policy file.
