I have loaded some local XML files using the HTTPService. Limitation: you need to know the path of the file. It's like entering a local file URL into your browser. Maybe this is not supposed to work, or maybe this is not what you are trying to do...but I post it anyway...just in case.
<mx:HTTPService id="xmlProjectData" resultFormat="e4x" url="file:///c:/Project13.xml <file:///c:\Project13.xml> " useProxy="false"/> _____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tracy Spratt Sent: Wednesday, November 29, 2006 11:54 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Is it possible to upload an xml file from local filesystem into a variable The Flash Player security sandbox restrictions pretty much prevent access to any local/client resources, including the file system.

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
