now, I need the files to be in a secure area, only accesible via my FLEX app…. what should I do? how can I store the files in my MySQL database and download them directly from it? and not get a URL that anyone could copy and then download my file without login in to my FLEX app.

thanks!!

//upload php script - name this test_file_upload.php

//download script - name this test_file_download.php

//now the flex; use onUpload() and onDownload() functions

			import flash.events.IOErrorEvent;
			import flash.net.navigateToURL;

			private var fileRef:FileReference;
			private function onUpload():void {
				fileRef = new FileReference();
				fileRef.addEventListener(Event.SELECT, selectHandler);
				fileRef.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
				fileRef.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, onIOError);
				try
				{
				    var success:Boolean = fileRef.browse();
				}
				catch (error:Error)
				{
				    trace("Unable to browse for files.");
				}
			}
			private	function selectHandler(event:Event):void
				{
					var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://localhost/test_file_upload.php");
				    try
				    {
				    	fileRef.upload(request);
					}
				    catch (error:Error)
				    {
				        trace("Unable to upload file.");
				    }
				}
			private function completeHandler(event:Event):void
			{
					trace("uploaded");
			}
			private function onIOError(event:IOErrorEvent):void {
				trace (event.text);
			}
			private function onDownload():void {
 				var urlReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://localhost/test_file_download.php");
 				navigateToURL(urlReq);
 			}

Thank you.
