Flex file upload more than 100 MB

Question

Hi,
Is there possibly any method where I can upload file to the server which are more than 100 MB?
I've gone through the nice piece of code demonstrated at here : http://www.zehnet.de/2009/02/23/flex-fileupload-component/ , where it shown how we can upload files in chunks to the server following FP10, but it also limits to the FP max limit of 100 MB. I've also gone through the discussion followed at: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/494366 , where a process been discussed where FP first reads a defined amount of bytes from a file, loads them and upload them and then go for the rest of the bytes, following openAsync() method for FileMode.READ, but which is only available in AIR. So, I wonder, if there could possibly any way to upload more than of 100 MB files in chunks to the server in browser mode of the Flash Player.
Thanks for any coming suggestions.
Rgds,

Long time no see vet. Your problem sucks. I would go to sun site review there articles on JVM tunning. To solve this problem you will need to change the command line arguments to JVM to increase the heap space.
java -Xms<initial heap size> -Xmx<maximum heap size>
Defaults are usually: java -Xms32m -Xmx128m
-Xm*s* - initial java heap size
-Xm*x* - maximum java heap size
-Xm*n* - the size of the heap for the young generation
This is a good article: http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/Programming/turbo/
Also, if this solves your problem please check it off so I can get some points. I've been out of the game for awhile.
