Tbis is a great resource, but it's not what I need. I'm building an app that can facilitate the selection and upload of 100s of photos, the OS file picker is way too limited. I would rather allow my users to pick one or more folders; "import" all the photo files into my Flex app; and then tag photos in a rich UI for later upload/processing. >From the docs, "[FileReference does] not allow the SWF file that initiated the upload or download to access the uploaded or downloaded file or the file's location on the user's disk." It also doesn't allow you to pick Folders. If my localTrusted Flex app can have access to something like Scripting.FileSystemObject, I can build a file browser component to pick folders to "Watch" and files to import. But that particular ActiveX component is not talking to AS3, and besides, it is not cross platform. Does that make sense?
