Flex 1.5 does not natively support file upload, but there are workarounds for Internet Explorer. See:
http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_19382 IE is the only browser that allows the FileInput object's click event to be fired from script, so the technique absolutely will not work with other browsers. Another option is to link your Flex app to a Flash 8 swf that handles file uploads: http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/flex/articles/fp8_features.html I have seen other other approaches to file upload in Flex 1.5, but I think these are the most promising. I believe Flex 2.0 has full support for file upload.
