I have loaded some local XML files using the HTTPService. Limitation: you
need to know the path of the file. It's like entering a local file URL into
your browser. Maybe this is not supposed to work, or maybe this is not what
you are trying to do...but I post it anyway...just in case.
mx:HTTPService
id=xmlProjectData
resultFormat=e4x
url=file:///c:/Project13.xml file:///c:\Project13.xml
useProxy=false/

The Flash Player security sandbox restrictions pretty much prevent access to
any local/client resources, including the file system. There are ways
around this but they require signficant work.
Is a projector like Zinc an option?

Subject: [flexcoders] Is it possible to upload an xml file from local
filesystem into a variable
Hi,
I'm trying to replace a .Net web client which zips and xml file and
transfers it a server for analysis via a SOAP webservice. I wanted to
remove dependancy on .Net standalone client and use flex app as
replacment. I can't seem to find a way of loading the local xml file
into a var for compression and base64 encoding to webservice.
Can this be done or are there security restrictions on this?
Many thanks
Murdo
