fileRef.load(); not working

[nikos101]

I'm getting this error when I try something like

fileRef.load();

ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property load not found on flash.net.FileReference and there is no default value.

It's sounds like your trying to use AS2 code in an AS3 project.

Can you clarify?

[nikos101]

you need flash 10 and flex 4

fileReference has been available since Flash 8.
Neither class use's the load() method.
It should be upload()
AS2 code

import flash.net.FileReference;

var allTypes:Array = new Array();
var imageTypes:Object = new Object();
imageTypes.description = "Images (*.jpg, *.jpeg, *.gif, *.png)";
imageTypes.extension = "*.jpg; *.jpeg; *.gif; *.png";
allTypes.push(imageTypes);

var listener:Object = new Object();

listener.onSelect = function(file:FileReference):Void {
trace("onSelect: " + file.name);
if(!file.upload("http://www.yourdomain.com/yourUploadHandlerScript.cfm")) {
trace("Upload dialog failed to open.");
}
}

listener.onCancel = function(file:FileReference):Void {
trace("onCancel");
}

listener.onOpen = function(file:FileReference):Void {
trace("onOpen: " + file.name);
}

listener.onProgress = function(file:FileReference, bytesLoaded:Number, bytesTotal:Number):Void {
trace("onProgress with bytesLoaded: " + bytesLoaded + " bytesTotal: " + bytesTotal);
}

listener.onComplete = function(file:FileReference):Void {
trace("onComplete: " + file.name);
}

listener.onHTTPError = function(file:FileReference):Void {
trace("onHTTPError: " + file.name);
}

listener.onIOError = function(file:FileReference):Void {
trace("onIOError: " + file.name);
}

listener.onSecurityError = function(file:FileReference, errorString:String):Void {
trace("onSecurityError: " + file.name + " errorString: " + errorString);
}

var fileRef:FileReference = new FileReference();
fileRef.addListener(listener);
fileRef.browse(allTypes);


AS3 code

var imageTypes:FileFilter = new FileFilter("Images (*.jpg, *.jpeg, *.gif, *.png)", "*.jpg; *.jpeg; *.gif; *.png");
var textTypes:FileFilter = new FileFilter("Text Files (*.txt, *.rtf)", "*.txt; *.rtf");
var allTypes:Array = new Array(imageTypes, textTypes);
var fileRef:FileReference = new FileReference();
fileRef.browse(allTypes);
fileRef.addEventListener(Event.SELECT, selectHandler);
fileRef.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
try
{
var success:Boolean = fileRef.browse();
}
catch (error:Error)
{
trace("Unable to browse for files.");
}
function selectHandler(event:Event):void
{
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.[yourdomain].com/fileUploadScript.cfm")
try
{
fileRef.upload(request);
}
catch (error:Error)
{
trace("Unable to upload file.");
}
}
function completeHandler(event:Event):void
{
trace("uploaded");
}
