open sys. file browser for jpg selection

[rrhyne]

Hi all,
In HTML form i have a file browsing window opening which allows users to
select a jpg from their hard drive.
Can this be done through flash?

The application is as follows: I am creating a CMS solution and have written a
php script which resizes and uploads a jpg to the server. It then will create
some XML which will be parsed by flash. I would rather just roll the CMS
solution into flash vs. doing it in PHP. But to do so i need to open a file
browsing window to allow users to select the jpg from their hard drives, then
pass the path on to my php script for uploading.

If not my only other option i can see is to open an html window which will
rull the script and upon the close of that window, the XML string gets passed
back to flash.

Any ideas on how to accomplish this?

Flash player doesn't currently have any local file access. You'll need to
continue using the browser's file upload capabilities unitl Macromedia upgrades
the player to support this functionality.

Thanks,
