I got the answer from this web post: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1270347/unexpected-flash-security-exception-when-using-urlloader
Instead of setting the contentType like this: request.contentType = "multipart/form-data;boundary=" + POSTUploadBuilder.boundary; Set the contentType like this: request.requestHeaders.push(new URLRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'multipart/form-data; boundary=' + POSTUploadBuilder.boundary)); This is how I create the boundry in my POSTUploadBuilder class: public class POSTUploadBuilder { private static var _boundary:String = ""; private static var _mainBoundary:String = ""; public static function get boundary():String { if(_boundary.length == 0) { var i:uint = 0; var len:uint = 0x20; for(; i < len; ++i) { _boundary += String.fromCharCode(uint(97 + Math.random() * 25)); } } return _boundary; } --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "greg_lafrance" <glafrance@...> wrote: > > I'm running within Flash Builder, to be able to set and hit breakpoints.
