I implemented some socket code today and quickly became frustrated with the poor socket implementation. FileReference has an upload method, and it dispatches a progress event. I’ve been implementing a bulk file uploader/image resizer, and since my code resizes the images, I need to modify the data before uploading. Since FileReference doesn’t allow the data to be modified even in memory (for some stupid reason), I decided to implement my own socket code to upload. Well, I quickly found that I cannot get the status of the upload. The progress event evidently fires when the upload is complete, which does no good on large files. What a load of crap flex sockets are!
