not really. it is much simple.
var appUrl:URLRequest = new URLRequest();
appUrl.url = "http://blah.com/blah/blahblah";;
appUrl.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
variables.data = data;// file data
variables.fName = name;// file name
variables.fType = type;// file type ex: text/csv
appUrl.data = variables;
flash.net.navigateToURL(appUrl, "_top");
you will send the data to the server and let the browser handle the
data that is returned. you do not have to wait for the data to
download or anything else. your job is done right here.
SharedObjects are not an ideal solution for this case.
