[Flashr] Uploading files?

[Kelvin Luck]

Hi,

That is I think the only solution for Flash Player 8. This is because 
flickr requires the uploaded file to be in a field named "photo" and the 
other variables to be POSTed while Flash 8 can only send the file in a 
field called "Filedata" and other variables via GET.

I started work on a solution using a proxy at one point but never got 
around to finishing it...

I think I read somewhere that you can get around the Flash limitations 
in Flash Player 9 but haven't done any experimentation myself,

Hope this helps,

Kelvin :)
