Are you saying, "complete event is of type flash.events.Event and does not have a data property..." because of the docs? (which do not list a data property)
Because I am not proposing a theoretical solution, this is operating code. I am a bit confused, though about the event datatypes. While I am listening for flash.events.Event from Filereference, my listener is typing the argument as DataEvent, and no exception is thrown, and I can access the .data property. Per the docs, "flash.events.DataEvent.UPLOAD_COMPLETE_DATA <http://127.0.0.1:54009/help/nftopic/com.adobe.flexbuilder.help/langref/ flash/events/DataEvent.html#UPLOAD_COMPLETE_DATA> " is the correct event to use.

Since there is no way to change the filename before it is uploaded, I am passing along a parameter which holds the file name I would like the file to ultimately be saved as. On the server side, all is well. The file is uploaded and then renamed to my parameter name. So my question is, is there a way to pass the new filename back to Flex so that I can access it within the FileReference Event.COMPLETE event listener? Rich
