Hi everyone!

I am attempting to upload a selected index/file to a local drive using flash. Likewise, I would like to use a flash button to upload a file from a local drive to a server.

Does anyone know if this can be done? And if so, have any suggestions/code ideas?

I appreciate it!!!

Sam

You will have to use a ServerSide Script like PHP to do what you want to do. Those threads should push you in the right direction.
