Could someone please let me know if is possible to drag (multiple) files from desktop directly into a flash webpage.
If yes could you please link me to some online resources.

A:
It is not possible. Flash can load files from the user's machine only using the FileReference class. The browse() method of that class displays a "Select file" dialog box to the user. Flash can load only those files that are selected by the user using the dialog box.

No, you can not access local files from flash in the browser, except if you use the FileReference class.
A possible way around this would be to use JavaScript. JavaScript has a new File API that will be availiable in Firefox 3.6. Read more here.
