I was happy to see a FileReference Class finally in Flash so that the
upload of basic files could be accomplished without the use of
backend scripts.
However, I want to use FileReference in a slightly different way and
I feel like it should be possible but can't quite get there.
Here's the goal:
Allow the user to select a text file from their local file system to
populate a text field on the stage.
Solution?:
I used FileReference.browse() to allow the user to find the file of
interest, once selected, I have access to the FileReference
properties including file name. If I had the path to the file in
addition to name, I could use URLLoader to pull in the text file, but
I only have name.
Questions:
Is there a way to get at the full qualified path for the file? Or
better, since I have the FileReference object, is there a way to
access its contents?
Thanks in advance,
Paul
