Daryn,

It's possible, but probably not the way you are going about doing it. I've 
taken 2 different paths to achieve this in the past, the first was on 
www.CertificateCreator.com when a user saves a certificate the object that 
describes the certificate is sent to ColdFusion and I convert the object to 
WDDX and store that in the database. Then when a certificate is opened it is 
retrieved from the database converted from WDDX back to a ColdFusion object 
that Remoting converts back to a Flash object. I've done this similar thing 
with .NET and PHP remoting, the trick is to find what format your middleware 
can store in your database.

The second approach I've used was to use Flash Media Server to store a remote 
shared object of the object. My app would make the remote connection get the 
object and start up. This approach worked great because there weren't a lot of 
objects that needed to be saved and retrieve and the application doesn't have 
many concurrent hits that would limit our license, plus after the retrieveal of 
the object the remote connection is closed.

I believe FDS has the same remote object capabilites as FMS has so you might 
already have that end. 

Good luck,

Original Message -----------------------
I have data in my flex app that I want to send to my server as if it
were a upload from a filereference (aka, as a multipart form).

Is there a easy way to do that?

Basically, I already have a backend servlet that accepts file uploads
from my flex app,  and from an html browse form, and i'd like to use
that same backend with arbitrary serialized objects in my swf. 


Thanks,

Daryn
