So I’m trying to create a simple file upload AS2. I got everything to work with my php script, and all… but once I click on browse which opens up the “select file” dialog, and select a file to upload, my button RollOver and pretty much anything else stops working. I can click on a button once, and as long as I don’t move a mouse I can click again to make the button work, but once i move the mouse, buttons never get a focus. I was wondering if this is a bug, or if there is something that i need to look for specifically. ☹
