I recently needed to develop a Flash Image Uploader with client-side resizing to work, the problem is that this is only possible when compiling the file for Flash Player 10 / AS3.

Everything is working like a dream with Python / Django doing the server-side stuff, but Flash 10 has introduced new, stricter security measures, which means that the client has to interact twice with the app. Once to browse for the file and secondly to upload the file (Basically Two Clicks). Users just can’t figure this out – even with descriptive help text.

Are users getting dumber???

If I can get this to work I’ll be stoked…
