Depends on what you mean by support and what you are actually trying to do.
Can I assume you are talking about an AIR application (as you are referring to the FileReference class). Is there a canned function that takes a file reference and uploads it to a server? No Is there a HTTP client allowing you to create almost anything? Certainly. First, a file reference is simply a reference to the file. You will need call the upload method on that reference and pass it a valid URLRequest object. For our organization, we choose not call web services with binary data uploads but rather use multi-part forms to perform the upload of images and other complex objects. If your plan is to load the file and post the contents of that file more along the lines of REST, then you can easily get to the data of the FileReference and post that as well however pay attention to the necessities of encoding the payload. See this -> http://blog.flexexamples.com/2007/10/30/using-for-the-filereference-clas ss-uploadcompletedata-event-to-capture-data-from-a-server-side-script Also, explore googlecode especially the flickr actionsript API's but we aware of the fact that if you are going to have to deal with binaries as well as large file, you will probably be building out your own solution. The Flickr API's are pretty specific (obviously) and implement their server side generic method invoking pattern. You should be able to see how HTTP works.

I have seen the flash.net.FileReference class, but I am not seeing a way to convert the fileReference to something useful like an XMLDocument so I can send it. Thanks. Amanda S.
