Read a file while downloading(stream like)

programming flash
1

Hello all!
I have to create an application in AS 3.0 and MXML(Flex) where users have to upload XML files to a web-server and the information from that XML be placed in a database table(MySQL). The problem is that the XML files are quite large and the actual download+SAX parsing could take a while.
My question is: Can I read the content of the XML WHILE downloading it? Is there something like FileStream available in Flex/ActionScript 3.0?

Any help is apreciated :slight_smile:

Regards,
Ariel
