I experienced that an upload / download of a larger file via Flash (FileReference) is possible. I agree with Avinash! I think this is a good place to discuss this topic (and not the stack overflow forum). Because this mailing list is the place where we can improve the Flex SDK / Flash. Correct me if I am wrong, but an upload of large files (2 GB or more) is currently not possible in Flash. And maybe we can check if it is possible to enable a larger file upload / download via Flex / Flash. This feature is very useful for Enterprise RIA's. I have already developed such an app and have the same problem. Thanks! Marcus Am 28.03.2012 um 16:55 schrieb Avinash Narayanan: > Hi JP, > > Thanks for taking time to reply!
