Hi,

I’ve seen some pretty nice looking Flash virals going around recently that lets you upload a picture of someone then allows you to drag afew points around their face which crops the picture then it gets used in a video. [EflYourself](http://www.elfyourself.com/) is a good example…

I’m not really wanting to use video at this stage but I was wondering if anyone had a basic example of the upload, drag/crop mask? I guess it must use the FileReference class, setMask and cacheAsBitmap? Does it require any serverside scripting? Thanks!
