How does Flash upload files without access to the user's file
system? I thought the security requirement was relaxed with the
release of Flash 8.
Conceptually, I would assume that if Flash can send a file to the
server, it must be accessing the file system somehow. Once Flash
gets the file, I would expect there is a way to get at the contents.
Realistically, I have no idea how to do that.

Because of security restrictions, the Flash Player running in the
browser can not access the user's file system. The only way to do
this is to wrap your flex swf in something like Zinc which allows it
to run as a desktop application, or of course Adobe Apollo, which is
in alpha/almost-beta right now.

Subject: [flexcoders] is there a way to open a file in flex app'
hi guys,
i'm pretty new to flex.
is there a way in flex 2 (action script 3) to perform the following
action: let user (client) to choose the file on his local comp' and
display its contents on the screen.
i've looked on FileReference class. but it seems the class allows just
to upload the file to the server and not to look on the file stream.
Thanks,
:)
