In the bug he mentioned there's a code but that may not be his. In that
example though, the handler is setup like so,
protected function onModelSelected(e:Event):void {
var fr:FileReference = e.currentTarget as FileReference;
fr.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onModelDone);
fr.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, onProgress);
// trace("loading...");
// setTimeout(function():void {fr.load()}, 1);//this will work
fr.load(); //this won't
trace("loading2...");
}
In the code above the file reference may be garbage collected before the
complete event is fired. I think that when he uses the setTimeout he's
keeping a reference to file around long enough for the event to be
dispatched.
