Ouch, not good to hear that. I hope in future version Flex will be more hm... flexible in this matter (pun intended :) However I admire your solution for the problem - I've been struggling with it for days, and haven't developed something like that. I'll definitely use this approach in our project. The only thing now is to think how to "reserve" this itemID from the server. Guess I will have to create empty object, put in inside DB, get the ID and return it. When the real upload comes, the object will be just updated with proper data in DB. So far, so good :) Thank you for your answer, it was really helpful. -- | Software Engineer | Sebastian Zarzycki | Microplan Polska (http://www.microplan.pl) -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!
