Comments on: Amazing New Feature for Flash 10 – FileReference Runtime Access

If the file to be uploaded is bigger than approximately 10KB, the Windows Flash Players will first send a test upload POST with zero content prior to uploading the actual file in order to verify that the transmission is likely to be successful. The second POST will contain actual file content. For smaller files, the Flash Player will do a single upload POST with the file to be uploaded.

The Mac players currently do not do test upload POSTs.

You can put your code to be executed in the script within a condition like

if(Request.ContentLength > 0)
{

}

I am trying to use a filereferencelist to upload multiples files.
But when I am trying to upload every single file (a filereference) is calling twice the event complete..
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi Drawk!
This code it doesn’t work, becouse You forgot about completeLoadHandler.
Some like this:
…
fileRef.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, comleteLoadHandler);
…
private function comleteLoadHandler(e:Event):void {
var data:ByteArray = e.target.data;
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.loadBytes(data);
addChild(loader);
}
before load complete You can’t see fileRef.data property

[...] FileReference Runtime Access: Now you can directly work on user’s local files. Previously, you need to upload a file to the server, download the file from server and then you can edit it. It’s much easier now. For more info, please refer to Draw Lgoic’s blog. [...]
