I have a client that needs a small image tagging application. I'm evaluating Flex for the task and have a quick question. First the use case.
1. Load Application in Browser 2. Click "browse" and select a number of images off the local disk. 3. Resize and tag these images on the client. 4. Upload via a webservice API to server. So in a nutshell I want to preprocess the images on the client before upload. Does the Flash 9 security model allow applications to browse and load files from the disk? I only need read access to the local disk. I did a few Google searches and founds a bunch of stuff about policy files. Not exactly helpful. Is there some way to sign the application to make this possible? Just accessing the disk sandbox will not be sufficient for this use case. The files could be anywhere. Thanks in advance.
