For those searching for the event callback functions for the FileReference:

var listener = new Object();

/**
* Gets called when user presses Open in the file open box
**/
listener.onSelect = function(file:FileReference) {
_root.tf.text += “\nonSelect: File selected ” + file.name + “(” + (Math.round(file.size / 1024 * 100) / 100) + “kb)\n”;
}

/**
* Gets called when user presses Cancel in file open box
**/
listener.onCancel = function(file:FileReference) {
_root.tf.text += “\nonCancel: Cancel browse ” + file;
}

/**
* Gets called when the .upload() function is called on a file
**/
listener.onOpen = function(file:FileReference) {
_root.tf.text += “\nonOpen: Starting upload ” + file.name;
}

/**
* Gets called periodically during upload
**/
listener.onProgress = function(file:FileReference, bytesLoaded:Number, bytesTotal:Number) {
_root.tf.text += “\nonProgress: ” + file.name + ” loading: ” + Math.round(bytesLoaded / bytesTotal * 100) + “%”;
}

/**
* If the server doesn’t handle the file upload
* but only after the file has uploaded not before
**/
listener.onHTTPError = function(file:FileReference, httpError:Number) {
_root.tf.text += “\nonHTTPError: ” + file.name + ” failed upload ” + httpError ;
}

/**
* If upload is called on a non http url like file://
* but only if you don’t read the boolean result from upload() for some reason.
**/
listener.onIOError = function(file:FileReference) {
_root.tf.text += “\nonIOError: Could not upload ” + file.name;
}

_root.file.addListener(listener);
