I want to open a file dialog via FileReference.browse() but I get #2176 error which means that this action can only be invoked upon some user interaction. I’m aware of security considerations but in my scenario I have a thin flash movie which merely displays an image and the whole UI is in javascript (I heavily use javascript <-> actionscript communication).
So the question is – do you think it would be possible to invoke FileReference.browse() upon the user interaction coming from javascript?
Ok. I’ve found this link: Flash Player 10 FileReference Changes. Apparently there’s no workaround for this limitation. I guess I’ll have to display a prompt for the user from within the flash movie, so that he/she can “interact” and allow to open the dialog.
