RE: [flexcoders] Read Local File
This is not possible due to browser security restrictions. You will have to ask the client to upload to the server, pass the data back to the client, modif, and send back to server. On the server side you will have to accept the down load, parse, and have the client the poll the server till the file is ready to get back to the client. Hope this helps Jason -Message d'origine-De: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]De la part de Torey MaerzEnvoyé: vendredi 30 juin 2006 15:35À: flexcoders@yahoogroups.comObjet: [flexcoders] Read Local File I would like to create a flex application (hosted on the internet) that could read in a client's local file, parse that file and then display in a datagrid for manipulation and eventually posting the data to my server.

When the upload is complete you'll then need to download the file from the server into the Flex application (check out the FileReference class for upload, and URLLoader to pull data in from a specific URL). You'll probably want to run a clean-up script on the server then to delete the user's file after it's been downloaded by the Flex app. -d __._,_.___ -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com SPONSORED LINKS Web site design development Computer software development Software design and development Macromedia flex Software development best practice YAHOO!

RE: [flexcoders] Read Local File
Unfortunately, Flex doesnt work the way you want b/c of security implications. You can do this by having the user upload the file to the server. Once the file is uploaded, parse it and then pull the data back down to the client and use it. -Andy _ Andrew Trice Cynergy Systems, Inc. http://www.cynergysystems.com Blog: http://www.cynergysystems.com/blogs/page/andrewtrice Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Office: 866-CYNERGY From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Torey Maerz Sent: Friday, June 30, 2006 9:35 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Read Local File I would like to create a flex application (hosted on the internet) that could read in a client's local file, parse that file and then display in a datagrid for manipulation and eventually posting the data to my server.
