Hello,

I have a fileReference function that uploads files.

I can successfully upload images and mp3 files. Once uploaded the photos are displayed or the music plays

However, when I upload FLV files they become corrupt and won’t play. I tested this by FTPing the same flv file and it loading it into my movie without a problem.

So the issue seems to be with the file reference upload. Somehow it corrupts the file.

I’ve tried many different flvs to test.

Anyone hear of or experience this issue?

Thx
