How to load an image directly from a user's local hard drive,not from server,

Hi Forums

how to load an image directly from a user’s local hard drive,not from server, and into flash. is it possible to do without using any server side scripting languages.if any one have an idea about this please help me…

Thanks in advance

Currently it’s only possible using Flash Player 10. Otherwise it will require a server script and the image will have to be uploaded to the server then loaded into the .swf.
