Concerns about reading a file in Flash 10
- by user246114
Hi,
I'd like to read an xml file on a user's machine (which can be kind of large). There's no point in me sending the file to my server as I can do all the work I need on the file right on the client's machine. Not sure if this is a good fit though, was wondering if anyone can answer these questions before I dive in:
I see at adobe's website that Flash 10 has like 94% penetration, is this true, I thought it was just released not too long ago?
After opening the xml file in flash, is it possible to just throw it to a javascript function on my same page for further processing? I'd like to go into flash world for as short a time as possible.
Is it at all common to use flash for file upload stuff? I heard aol/flickr are?
I would need to buy flash in order to do this right, they don't have a free ide/compiler yet?
Thanks
