You'll need to post the file from your Flash applet to a .NET page / service / http handler / MVC Action which will actually write the image to your DB.

I would suggest simply posting the file to an appropriate action on an appropriate controller. An action along the lines of (assuming this is in the "Files" Controller)

[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)]
public ActionResult  SaveFile(HttpPostedFile uploadedFile)
{
    // write file to DB / save to disk here
    RedirectToAction(......);
}

So from your Flash applet, you'd post the file to www.site.com/files/savefile
