The Adobe docs are a bit dicey on this: "Starts the upload of a file selected by a user to a remote server. Although Flash Player has no restriction on the size of files you can upload or download, the player officially supports uploads or downloads of up to 100 MB. You must call the FileReference.browse() or FileReferenceList.browse() method before you call this method."
http://www.adobe.com/livedocs/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/net/FileReference.html#upload%28%29 Most people haven't actually run into this restriction though. I think it's more a case of Adobe covering their ass since I lot of things can go wrong while uploading large files. I had some issues with this before and it actually ended up being more like what Tom is describing - the web server was running out of memory and dying. I'd recommend taking a look at your server logs to start diagnosing the problem. A good test for isolating the problem would be to attempt the large upload via a standard HTML upload form and see if that works (if it doesn't, then obviously it's a problem with your server). --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Tom Chiverton <tom.chiver...@...> wrote: > > On Friday 21 May 2010 13:13:03 you wrote: > > Good day all, > > > > I just start using flex.
