I don't think it's possible (but only sure to about 98% :D). My suggestion would be to a) (easiest) just create a separate upload page b) (little more complicated) create an upload page that doesn't save to server but rather just converts the file to base64 encoded string, the flex app listens for the "uploadCompleteData" - that data will be your file in base64 encoded string. You can send that in a web service. For b - you can look at the Excel library (http://code.google.com/p/as3xls/) - more specifically - look at the php script which does this to load a local Excel file into the flex app. It does upload the file to the server, but doesn't save it, just spits it back in a form usable by Flex.
Hope this helps at least a little, I know it's probably not exactly what you're looking for though... -Nathan --- In [email protected], "Amanda" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi, > > Does anyone know if flex supports browsing a local file system for a > file and then sending the file via a web service?
