[flexcoders] Re: client side image loading
Ok, so when a client selects a file it ok to upload the file to ANY server on the internet the flex author owns, but NOT OK to load it in memory of the client that owns the file! Seems kinda backwards to me. Wouter --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Seth Caldwell [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Security.
