flash data integration:
What I have is an application that updates an XML file sends it to a PHP to
save thi data to the server. For each entry, there is an associated file that
needs to be uploaded to the server also. HOW can I do this? I know PHP will
handle uploads, I am not exactly sure how yet( another language to learn and
digest ) how may I let the user browse for the file to choose? Maybe a lil
java applet or script can do this, I think All I need is the path and then send
that info to the php script to grab??? This project NEEDS this upload... ANY
IDEAS would be most helpfull on how this can be accomlished. I am using Flash
MX as the front end and PHP on the server to write the updated XML file..
Thanx for your time :P

you will want to create an HTML popup that with an upload field. that will
post the file up to a PHP page that wil lhandle the file. THere have been
some creative things done though where people have layered the upload button in
HTML over the flash movie so it appears to be part of the movie.

In the end though, Flash can't help with the upload process.
