Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew how I could make a file upload or file attach for email on a Flash button. I am trying to use that feature for my site that has flash email forms http://flashmailforms.com

Thanks alot for any help.

You know how you get that "browse for file" window when you click the browse button? Thats what I want to do but with a flash button. Please help. Thanks

After extensive searching of the web, I've come to the conclusion that this isn't possible. Sorry.

You can use something like this (http://www.flashcfm.com/download.cfm?id=120), but it appears to be IE-only, so it's not a true replacement for <input type="file"/>. For the same reason, I don't know if it works or not, and you'd be better off just styling a file input anyway.
