I think he is referring to the two different types of events that you can listen for on a FileReference.
1) Event.COMPLETE which does not have a data property (Event Class) and 2) DataEvent.UPLOAD_COMPLETE_DATA which does have the property (DataEvent Class) Both are in the docs for file reference. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "Tracy Spratt" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Are you saying, "complete event is of type flash.events.Event and does > not have a data property..." because of the docs?
