FYI Flash/Flex (AS3 only) now have a File IO Class to handle uploads and downloads, I use it to upload images to member areas in my Rails App with no problem, but the file sizes are no bigger than about 250K - never tried anything larger, although you do get progress information sent back to the event handler in flash so you can provide a progress information, and also handle any errors during the upload/download.
