Re: [Flashcoders] Uploading file problem on MAC
Not if you're trying to use FileReference. I've noticed that only
some applications on the Mac would embed that filetype info. But,
when the file gets transferred from the Mac to PC then back,
sometimes the info would get lost. But, most files on OSX now use
file extensions, so you can still filter by those.

When using FileReference.browse(), you can specify the types of
files you want to allow in an array. For example:
var typeLIst:Array = [{description: "Image files", extension:
"*.jpg;*.gif;*.png", macType: "JPEG;jp2_;GIFF"}, {description:
"Flash Movies", extension: "*.swf", macType: "SWFL"}];
myFileReference.browse (typeList);
The example above would limit the selectable files
to .jpg, .gif, .png, and .swf. Each element in the array is an
object with a description, extension, and macType property. If
you remove the macType property from the object, then the files
will still be filtered by extension on the Mac, but should still
be selectable.

When specifying the file types that are allowed to upload, are
you specifying a macType as well? If a file wasn't actually
created on a Mac, it won't have a macType, and won't be
selectable, even if it's still technically of the type you
want to allow.
Setting the macType isn't required, and the list of extensions
used by Windows to filter the files will still work on the
Mac, so I'd just remove the macType specification.
