Download something like Fiddler or Firebug, and tell us what the HTTP traffic is.

You should also add error event listeners to the FileReference object so that you can trap the errors when they happen. (and they might happen for a number of reasons out of your control...). All the Flex documents show you examples of which errors to trap. The only problem is that sometimes you get two errors for one request. e.g., in my experience, if I get an HTTP_STATUS error, I will also get an IO_ERROR. Seems dumb to me, but maybe Flex/Adobe has their reasons.
