Re: [Flashcoders] FileReference and Getting File Path
You'd get a preview without uploading, by accessing the file directly from
the user's harddrive.
However, this is not supported for security reasons. Basically, the answer
is NO, with standard flash, you cannot read files from the user's harddrive
without uploading them to the server first and reading them from there.

Maybe im just dont undestand the problem because how can you show a
preview of the users image without first uploading it to your server?

If you're working in a web page you can use a hidden file field and
communicate with it via ExternalInterface / getURL and javascript.

Not sure if this will help, but maybe you can copy the image to the
users cache to display it.
// make a working copy of a file on the user's disk
var fileRef = new FileReference();
if (fileRef.browse(["Text Files", "*.txt"]) {

That's a Macromedia Central only feature. I doubt they're using Central, but
maybe ;)
