Uploading Files to a Remote Server Using Flash 8

A neat tutorial on Kirupa.

"The FileReference class allows Flash to open the familiar file selection dialog box that displays a list of files found on a user's file system. Once a file has been selected, Flash can then begin to upload the file to a remote server. FileReference also provides Flash with some information regarding the file that may be useful to you as a developer. For example, the name, size, and file type/extension can all be accessed through FileReference properties."
