hi

i am trying to trigger Filereference browse method from javascript. but am failing cause flash gives error saying you cant do this sort of thing without user interaction. then i tried calling a button’s dispatch Event to frcing mouse event on the internal button from javascript… still no use. is there anyway to get around it ? cause later i plan to upload binary data from flash with a button in javascript. if this keeps blocking i wont be able to ☹ any solutions )
