The Flash Player security sandbox restrictions pretty much prevent access to any local/client resources, including the file system. There are ways around this but they require signficant work.
Is a "projector" like "Zinc" an option?

I wanted to remove dependancy on .Net standalone client and use flex app as replacment. I can't seem to find a way of loading the local xml file into a var for compression and base64 encoding to webservice. Can this be done or are there security restrictions on this? Many thanks Murdo
