    MX newbie questions:

    Can MX load images that a user browses to?

    Then can the MX player (v. 6) load those images into the player?

    Finally, can those images be sent to a server via middlewear? (ASP/JSP...)

    thanks!

    If you're talking about the user actually browsing via the Flash Player for external images stored on the user's hard disk or on a web server then the short answer is No.

    You could simulate it by building a content management GUI in Flash but that would involve backend scripting, database etc. and of course that would only work in a web-based environment.

    What if I used javascript to browse the files, then read the file into a javascript Image object.

    Can Flash read that in?

    Yep. I'm thinking If you can get it into Javascript then you can get it into Flash.

    There's quite a few tutorials floating around re Javascript/Flash communication. I've seen a few on the Macromedia site http://www.macromedia.com/flash/

    Whilst I've done a bit of Flash/Javascript stuff I can't give you any specifics as to exactly how to achieve what you've mentioned above...sorry!
