That's a good idea.... hadn't thought of that. Mind you, don't think we
can use FP8 but worth considering.
I'm still looking for the reason that it doesn't work straight from the
hard drive though. Is it a Flash player thing or a service pack thing?

Most PC's have webcams nowadays and they'll require less technical
knowledge end user wise than a file upload.

Subject: [Flashcoders] Accessing a file on the local hard drive?
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.
