When a user logs into my site I create a set of session variables to Identify the person who is logged in. When the flex 2 application loads for my picture uploader though it will start its own new session.... I think...does anyone know anything about this... what do you think... I think this because when the flex 2 application send the files to the server for validation and upload, the session variables do not exist, so i cant see who is uploading what. Is there any way to make the flex 2 application exist in the current session that was created when the person logged in the first place?
I would think so... but the question is how. I just started playing around with flex 2. I found a multi file uploader that a guy named Ryan Favro wrote. It works great, but when it is loaded on the the website, it will start its own new session. This is a problem because then the flex app doesn't regard the current session variables set when the user logs in. So when the user uploads any pictures or music I my cfm file doesn't know who is doing the uploading. I have tried all sorts of things to make the flex2 app exist in the same session as the users information is stored... Oddly enough this is only a problem in firefox, opera, and safari. IE7 seems to work just fine.
I'm going to need a little more help here, I know someone out there knows exactly what to do, Even if you just point me in the right direction I'm sure this can be figured out. I just dont know where to start.
I'm not sure I understand this completely, but the Coldfusion function URLSessionFormat() might help here.
