Hi,
How do I get call back data for a FileReference upload call ?
[http://help.adobe.com/en\_US/AS3LCR/Flash\_10.0/flash/net/FileReference.html](http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AS3LCR/Flash_10.0/flash/net/FileReference.html)
The onComplete callback only return a references (in the .data property) to the file (Reference.onComplete (file:FileReference) ).
In comparison URLLoader returns “The data received from the load operation.” eg PHP echo/print/die etc statements which is what I want.
Thank you for your consideration!
It might be that I am Googling the wrong terms but I have found several posts in other forums on this with no solutions.
