I am making this flash file for a client and what I need to do is create it so that it can take an uploaded image and have it be able to resize it when they click on it as they wish.

So basically it would work like Flash GUI with the 8 dots around the image to resize. I just need a general idea on how I would do this.

what you're taking about isn't an easy task, and requires more than one technology. Generally, uploading an image is done with a server side scripting language ( so php, or asp, or jsp, or whatever ). Then some other script to output an xml file. Then load the xml file with the uploaded images into flash.

Alternatively you could use flash remoting, so something like amfphp

once everything is loaded in, the image sizing within flash should be easy enough.

The last part ( the saving, I'm assuming you want to save the resized images ) is pretty damn tricky. But some have succeeded through the use of the new bitmapData Class in Flash 8.

Again, not a simple run of the mill project.

Good luck!

Also one more question I want to have so that they can pick from a directory of pictures. Is their a way to link php and flash? So that when they choose from a list of pictures in a pop-up the link notfies the flash document that It needs to load that picature?

you can combine flash + php using loadVars object, or as I mentioned previously, use amfphp.
