That is why that one guy was getting IO Errors. There is a specific IOErrorEvent type that is dispatched when an error occurs. It would be better if the code had a listener for that error event. I don't think that try.. catch will ever catch anything unless your file or request var wasn't set. That try … catch exception statement isn’t the way to handle errors.

To make it mulitple file just use FileReferenceList. http://www.flash-db.com/Tutorials/upload/ Here is a full server side code included sample for Flash8 that uses the FileReference.

In .NET for instance this comes in on the Request.Files object array as binary that you just save. The great thing about this flash upload method for the client side is it checks file size before you upload (you can put checks there) and you can alto upload and select multiple files. This was only possible with Java applets or ACtiveX controls and activex and java are long but dead in the browser. Java might be back but it is all Flash for uploads with this functionality. One place you might want to look is SWFUpload . http://swfupload.mammon.se/ Hey Jonathan,

But even if I try do use that code locally, I cant even upload an image. And by the way, var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.[yourdomain].com/upload/"); what do I exactly need to put on "yourdomain"? is it the upload.php file? or should I leave it the way it was? Im sorry but I cant make it work properly I guess. Hey drawk, Yeah I need to upload it in a server. But even if I try do use that code locally, I cant even upload an image. And by the way,

You have to have a server side PHP, ASP.NET, JSP, etc file to catch it on the server to save it. Flash can only get the files and post them in the response and then from there you need to have a server side script to catch the data and save it to a file on the server. Hey Jonathan,

How do this things really work? Can you further explain it?

It posts as POST with the file attachments. .NET, PHP etc have libs to grab this you just need to setup a page or url that can accept the files. I have more complete tutorials on this including .NET and PHP samples but they need to be cleaned up and writing a tutorial for it. Unfortunately until I move this blog to my main domain I dont' have alot of that setup just yet. Hey Didier,

I'm not sure why, if you could tip me on something. I'm also wondering, what kind of server setup you need so flash has permissions to write to a folder?
