Hi all,

I creating a b’back end’ if you will, in my flash movie that allows the administrator to upload files to the server using a browse for file button. I have managed to trigger the \<input type:file\> from my form using javascript and a flash button. The form is hidden using dhtml layer. when I try to submit my form using the same process (calling a javascript function from a flash button) I get a run time error that says “Access Denied”. I have no problems when I submit the form without the flash button (the file iuploads to the specified directory without a glitch).

\<script language=“JavaScript” type=“text/JavaScript”\>  
\<!–  
function browse(){  
document.uploadform.File1.click();  
}

function sendit(){  
document.uploadform.submit();  
}

//–\>  
\</script\>  
\<H1\>File Upload\</H1\>

\<div id=“Layer1” style=“position:absolute; width:200px; height:115px; z-index:1”\>  
\<object classid=“clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000” codebase=“[http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0](http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0)” width=“550” height=“400”\>

\</div\>

\<div id=“Layer2” style=“position:absolute; width:200px; height:115px; z-index:2; visibility: visible;”\>  
\<FORM name=“uploadform” method=“post” encType=“multipart/form-data” action=“ToFileSystem.asp”\>  
\<INPUT type=“File” name=“File1”\>  
\<INPUT type=“Submit” value=“Upload”\>  
\</FORM\>

\</div\>

Is my code correct?..when I activate the windows debugger it faults at "document.uploadform.submit();

Please help!

Thanks,
