Rephrasing: I personally think you simply can't "UPLOAD" in secure areas, but I might be quite wrong.

What I would understand from this is: - You simply can not offer the possibility to "upload" in an authentication area. (Even with a policy files... attempts will simply fail) OR - If you'd like to enable upload in an authentication area, you'll need to consider policy-file!? I'm not sure if the comment about policy files is related to using "this" technique of downloading files or uploading file. It's just not clear when they say: "When using this method, consider the Flash Player security model:"... I personally think you simply can't download in secure areas, but I might be quite wrong. It would be nice to get just a little more info on that from macromedia documentation people :) or whoever knows.

The Server Side Script is done in DotNet The script on Oinam was of great help to understand the upload functionality... http://blog.oinam.com/archives/2005/08/flash-8-file-upload-download/ I've rather used a slightly different technique, but it seems to work perfectly fine on a machine without any user or windows authentication. The application however doesn't work when I deploy it on a read-write box with an authentication popup. As soon as the Upload method is triggered, I get a windows authentication popup and even after using the correct username/password the application freezes. - I have found the following information on the Flash 8 Help, but frankly couldn't make much sense outta it, could you guys please tell me how I can solve this. /// --- From Flash 8 Help --- /// Note: If your server requires user authentication, only SWF files running in a browser--that is, using the browser plug-in or ActiveX control--can provide a dialog box to prompt the user for a user name and password for authentication, and only for downloads. For uploads that use the plug-in or ActiveX control, and for uploads and downloads that use the stand-alone or external player, the file transfer fails. When using this method, consider the Flash Player security model: Not allowed if the calling SWF file is in an untrusted local sandbox. The default is to deny access between sandboxes. A website can enable access to a resource by adding a cross-domain policy file. /// ---------------------------------- /// Regards, VARUN SHETTY | M P H A S I S - Usability Engineering Team | IT SERVICES MOBILE: 9820566021 | OFFICE: 56969200-EXT:333 LEELA BUSINESS PARK | ANDHERI | MUMBAI | www.mphasis.com _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
