If you are looking for an example of using FileReference and a server side script to upload videos to a server, this article that I wrote for the Brightcove developer center might help you.
Flex/JSP Example: Upload video using the Brightcove Media API
Of course, if you in addition use Brightcove, you will find it even more useful!
It was great to see everyone at Flex Camp Boston last Friday! As promised, here are the slides and source code from my presentation about Building Mashups with Flex. You will need to get your own APi keys for the NYT, Google, Ribbit APIs before you try it out
If you like me want to try Flash 10 features in Flex or AIR 1.5 in Flex Builder, I would recommend installing the Flex Builder 3.0.2 update using the update mechanism in Flex Builder (Help>Search for Flex Builder updates) and get the Flex SDK 3.2 installed that way. When I followed the instructions for the manual installation, I realized that dataVisualization.swc was not included in the download. So my projects with Charts were not compiling.
For targeting Flash 10, you still have to remove the default playerGlobal.swc and re-add the one that targets Flash 10 as explained in the instructions. But at least you do not have to manually add (actually borrow from Flex SDK 3.1 ) the dataVisualization.swc. Again, you only need this if you are using Charts or the Advanced Datagrid in your project.
Also make sure to also regenerate your HTML template folder after changing the require Flash Player version to 10.0.0 ( Project>Properties>Flex Compiler>Require Flash Player). That includes the correct version detection scripts for Flash 10.
I did not see the bugs that some people are reporting about missing code hinting for the some Flash APIs ( Graphics and Bitmap). These were bugs that according to Adobe were fixed for the Flex 3.0.2 release, and the fixes are working for me in FB 3.0.2. I guess, you just need to make sure that you have upgraded to Flex Builder 3.0.2, have replaced the playerGlobal.swc that targets Flash 10 and have regenerated your HTML template folder.
I will be speaking about Building Mashups with Adobe Flex and AIR at Flex Camp Boston this December 12th at Bentley University. A Flex camp is a great opportunity to advance your Adobe Flex and AIR skills and network with other fellow Flex developers. Last year, we had a blast and this year looks really promising as well. Speakers include members of the Adobe Flex Team as well as experts from several companies.

No, I am not talking about last night game between the Boston Red Sox and the Seattle Mariners where Seattle beat Boston 3-0 -although I am highly disappointed by that one too; I’m talking about 360Flex taking place in Seattle and not Boston as previously rumored it.
I can’t avoid it; I am a Red Sox fan and a Flex developer living in Boston. But well, I guess Dice-K (pictured here) said the same thing as John Wilker – one of the 360Flex organizers- ‘Sorry, Boston. We tried, but it didn’t work out. = (‘
Seriously, as much as I wanted 360Flex to take place in my city, I am sure it will be a great event no matter where it takes place. I’m sure that by now most of you already know the details, but if not here you go:
Dates - August 13-15, 2007
City - Seattle, Washington
Location/Hotel - The Red Lion on Fifth Avenue
Conference Registration Fee - $360.00
And who knows, it might be a good excuse for me to go to Seattle.

No, no estoy hablando del juego de anoche entre los Medias Rojas de Boston y los Marineros de Seattle, donde Seattle le gano a Boston 3-0 - aunque tambien estoy muy descepcionado por eso tambien; estoy hablando de que 360Flex se hara en Seattle y no en Boston como se habia rumorado.
No puedo evitarlo; soy un fan de los Medias Rojas y un desarrollador de Flex viviendo en Boston. Pero bueno, tal vez Dice-K(en la imagen) dijo lo mismo que John Wilker- uno de los organizadores de 360Flex- ' Lo sientimos, Boston. Lo intentamos, pero no se pudo'
Ya seriamente, aunque me hubiera gustado tanto que 360Flex fuera en mi ciudad, estoy seguro que sera un gran evento no importa donde se realize. Estoy seguro que ya la mayoria de ustedes conoce los detalles, pero si no aqui estan:
Fechas - Agosto 13-15, 2007
Ciudad - Seattle, Washington
Lugar/Hotel - The Red Lion on Fifth Avenue
Precio de la Conferencia - $360.00 US
Y quien sabe, tal vez sea una buena excusa para que yo vaya a Seattle.
