In Air the fileReference objects in fileReferenceList do not fire the complete event when doing fileList[i].load(). In Flex it works fine. Adobe has not taken bug reports on this appropriately.

Hey Mike,

I understand the Compilation error of your MXML is due to the fact that my Flex 3 is NOT setup for FP10.

I work in Flex. My question is – if I set it up for FP10, will my new apps in Flex 3 still run in FP9 as well. If it doesn’t, it could spell disaster for me. Please advise.

Cheers mate.

Hi Mike,

Tried to compile the 2 MXML you have given in Flex 3.

The first one produced 2 Compilation Errors.

fr.load();
&
var data:ByteArray = fr.data;

The Second one showed 1 comiplation Error

fr.save(inputField.text, DEFAULT_FILE_NAME);

I’m stumped. Can you check ‘em and revert back?

Cheers mate.
