It can in AIR. See http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/langref/flash/filesystem/File.html File.desktopDirectory --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, James garymoorcroft_...@... wrote: Can this be done?

Cheers. Yep unfortunately I'm working in a regular web based flex app now and I wanted it so that it would create images on the users desktop in the folder and then dynamically set the source of an image component to these images so the user can preview the image they've just created within the app itself but I guess that's not possible and I'll have to leave out the preview bit. :-( --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, valdhor valdhorli...@... wrote: It can in AIR.

Hi, You can try FileReference.load and on complete event you can show the preview of that image to user.Look at the following URL for example. But here you will be not able to store images on desktop :(. http://mxmlexamples.com/?p=766 Thanks Regards, Pravin Uttarwar | Perennial Systems pravin.uttar...@perennialsys.com | Cell: +91 9371288080 | Tel: +91 (020) 2421 1286 Ext:2007 On 8 April 2010 18:53, James garymoorcroft_...@yahoo.co.uk wrote: Cheers.
