Flash Player 10 FileReference Changes

In Flashplayer 10  some new security enhancements to the FileReference class has been implemented.In previous versions of the Flash Player (upto 9.0.124.0), we could programmatically call the FileReference.browse() method to open a file browser dialog window which enables users to locate a file on their system so that it could be uploaded to a server. Most of the developers use this feature for various document uploader applications. In Flash Player 10 you can no longer spawn this dialog window programmatically and it must be initiated by a user click. The attempt to launch the dialog with code will throw a security exception and break the application.

For more detailed informations please check the following links.
