[flexcoders] FileByteArray
Hi, I know that the access to local files are made using the file browse for security reasons. But as soon the user has selected the file and confirmed, I think flash player could have access to the byteArray of the file. I don´t think it would be a security risk, since it´s access are readonly and the user has authorized. The same goes for download. You could open a save dialog ask for the user save a data that was generated by the application on the client. The possibilities would be amazing. Here goes some examples: 1 - The user could browse to a csv file and instantly import to a grid, with no need to send to serverside. 2 - User would save app configuration on his machine and load again later. 3 - User could open some images and instantly display the thumbs. 4 - Usually the uploaded images are big, cause the user shot then using high resolutions. Flash could compact this image or even resize and encode in png/jpg before send to the server. 5 - The upload file could be compressed before send to the server. A xml usually became 10 times smaller after compression. Would be nice too, upload a byteArray to the server, cause today, you can upload only files selected by the user.

Re: [flexcoders] FileByteArray
I totaly agree with you, but until now, I could not accomplish that.I have an test with FTP by Socket where the intencion is receive one image form the user by fileReference, capture the BiteArray, redimension the image (like PHP do) and then upload to a FTP server by socket. All stages are funcional, less the bitearray of filereference.Equal that, I have an test for Base64 encripting where user can chose an local image an receive and Base64 string for that image. The same problem... can´t capture that. The only way I fond (that doesn´t work too) is create an mx:image with source file:///c:/image.jpg but then I get an Sandbox error when I trie to get the BityArray of mx:image.In stand buy for news about it :)Rogerio On 10/5/06, Neves [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, I know that the access to local files are made using the file browse for security reasons.
