nope, afraid not. ----- Original Message ----- From: "dlpagefr" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, April 17, 2008 12:10 AM Subject: [flexcoders] File selection problem Hi, When selecting files with a FileReference or FileReferenceList, I get an object or object array containing files. The problem is that apart from uploading these files, there is nothing else I can seem to do with them. 2 examples: 1) images: I can select images and upload them to my webserver, but I cannot load these images into the flex applet and display them... unless I upload them to the server, then download them again. 2) Data files: I can select a file, but I cannot parse it's contents or process the data: I have to upload it to a server and download it again... This does not seem the optimum method of programming and there has to be a better way. Uploading just to download again is a huge waste of bandwidth - and time. Is there a way to select a file/several files and read the contents without doing "round trips"?
