Hi, I know that the access to local files are made using the file browse for security reasons. But as soon the user has selected the file and confirmed, I think flash player could have access to the byteArray of the file. I don´t think it would be a security risk, since it´s access are readonly and the user has authorized. The same goes for download. You could open a save dialog ask for the user save a data that was generated by the application on the client.
The possibilities would be amazing. Here goes some examples: 1 - The user could browse to a csv file and instantly import to a grid, with no need to send to serverside. 2 - User would save app configuration on his machine and load again later. 3 - User could open some images and instantly display the thumbs. 4 - Usually the uploaded images are big, cause the user shot then using high resolutions. Flash could compact this image or even resize and encode in png/jpg before send to the server. 5 - The upload file could be compressed before send to the server. A xml usually became 10 times smaller after compression. Would be nice too, upload a byteArray to the server, cause today, you can upload only files selected by the user.
