File upload, plz help

[patrickgates]

I am working on a script that would allow people to import files from their hard drive into this swf file and add effects to their photos, then download the files

I'm having trouble allowing people to import images into the flash file, without uploading them to the server

I have experience in php also, if server side programming is necessary


Thank you so much

You can load a file directly into Flash Player from the user's hard drive with Flash Player 10 using a FileReference instance's load method.

I can't seem to figure it out


Can anyone give me the exact code
