Using the FileReference API to upload files in Flex 2 applications

(TechNote) Flash 8 introduced new FileReference and FileReferenceList classes that allow Flash applications to natively interact with remote file upload and download. As Flex 1.5 was tied to Flash Player 7, it was possible to use these features, however, it required extra code as it was necessary to tie into a native Flash 8 application. With Flex 2 and Flash Player 9, new and improved versions of FileReference and FileReferenceList classes are available allowing native and simple code from Flex to leverage these features. This TechNote explains how to use APIs in Flex 2 applications and provides a simple file uploading example.
