Paul,
FileReference allows for the upload and download of files. You first
have to upload the file (with use of a backend script (PHP or whatever).
Once the file is uploaded you can use the FileReference's download()
method to download the file. You should then be able to open the file
and display it's contents in the TextInput.
You are not able to get the fully qualified file path on the person's
local machine.
Cheers,
Nick

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
