Q: 

Passing an AIR file to ActionScript as a FileReference?

Hello,

This might be an awkward question, I apologize in advance.

I made a program to upload files and it uses FileReference. I want to have an AIR version of this program, but allow to pick a whole folder. So far, I was able to get this behavior through AIR using AIRAliases.js in JavaScript.

I am able to create File objects but I wonder if there is any possible way for me to send this File object to my ActionScript 3.0 code (using the ExternalInterface maybe), and change it into a FileReference object, so that I have very few code to change for it to work.

Does that sound completely insane please? Is there any possible way to have an AIR File object sent to the actual SWF and changed into a FileReference please?

Thank you very much for your help!

Rudy
