We are just trying to upload a file and then return some data back to Flash, but apparently that is not possible. Number 2 at http://www.mehtanirav.com/2006/04/29/filereference-on-mac-type-is-not-available/ seems to confirm what I feared about FileReference.
Can someone please explain to me how/when its useful to upload a file and get nothing back besides a confirmation? How would you communicate that there is already a file uploaded with that name? How would you communicate that the file's data is not correctly formatted? I cannot believe there is no way to get any returned data from the url that you upload your file to. Seriously- what is the point of using FileReference with such an immense limitation?
