Upload file to the server using flex with an ColdFusion Script

I am looking for an example on how to upload a file from my Flex app to a server. I have tried many examples but just can't seem to get it to work.

Currently (with the code attached) I can browse and when I select a file and hit open it does nothing ( no error, no message) .

Also tried to put my upload file code in a CFC and send the file info to the CFC - My problem with that is it was looking for a form object

Anyway,  either solution will work (uploading using a CFC or having a CFM script)


Here are a couple of links that I have tried.

FileUploadScript.cfm
This is my one line script just to test the upload
 
<cffile action="upload" filefield="Filedata" destination="#ExpandPath('./')#" nameconflict="OVERWRITE" />
