Browsing your local hard drive from flash can be a bit tricky. If you use Javascript it most likely won’t work in Mozilla (from my exp). There are components out there for example Yam’z [http://www.yamago.net/components/](http://www.yamago.net/components/) which works like a charm.

ASP doesn’t handle file uploading the way PHP does. PHP file uploading is simple, with very little code in most cases, this is not the same with ASP. I would recomment getting yourself a server that handles PHP or run a search on google for ASp file uploader scripts.

And don’t ask for code, try it yourself first then ask for help with whatever you have a problem with 😉

you can store the image on your server in a directory, then have the database record point to that pictures link -

and then with some clever image tags and variables get the picture to display with the rest of their information when the database is queried.
