Not much else to say, here is my code, so far:

//addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE\_DOWN, mousePress);  
addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE\_UP, mouseRelease);  
var file;  
var framesArray:Array = new Array;  
var loader:Loader;  
var selectedFile;  
var instanceName;  
var concatName;

function mouseRelease(event:MouseEvent):void{  
fileOpener();  
}

function fileOpener() {  
var imageTypes:FileFilter = new FileFilter("(_.swf)", "_.swf;");  
var allTypes:Array = new Array(imageTypes);  
var fileRef:FileReference = new FileReference();  
fileRef.browse(allTypes);  
file = fileRef;  
fileRef.addEventListener(Event.SELECT, selectHandler);  
}

function selectHandler(event:Event):void {  
selectedFile = file.name;  
loader = new Loader();  
loader.load(new URLRequest(selectedFile));  
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,contentComplete);  
myLoader.addChild(loader);  
}

function contentComplete(event:Event):void {  
/\* instanceName = selectedFile;  
concatName = instanceName.substr(0,instanceName.indexOf("."));  
loader.name = concatName;  
var labels:Array = myLoader.currentLabels;  
for (var i:uint = 0; i \< labels.length; i++) {  
var label:FrameLabel = labels\*;  
trace("frame " + label.frame + ": " + label.name);  
}  
//displayFrames();\*/  
}

function displayFrames() {  
}
