Hi Clint,

I've just this very moment solved that one!  :-)  I couldn't get what
was going on either, but this is what I did:
For the sake of trying it out a created a new application to do it.
I left all the imports and var declarations where they were, but put
all the rest of the method calls and functions inside another function
and then called that function using the creationComplete application
tag attribute.
see below
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
layout="absolute" creationComplete="initApplication()">
    <mx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
            import flash.net.FileFilter;
            import flash.net.FileReference;
            import flash.net.URLRequest;

            public var imageTypes:FileFilter = new FileFilter("Images
(*.jpg, *jpeg, *.gif, *.png)","*.jpg; *jpeg; *.gif; *.png");
            public var textTypes:FileFilter = new FileFilter("Text
Files (*.txt, *rtf)","*.txt; *.rtf");
            public var allTypes:Array = new Array(imageTypes,
textTypes);
            public var myFileRef:FileReference = new FileReference();
            
            public function initApplication(): void
            {
                myFileRef.addEventListener(Event.SELECT, selectHandler);
                myFileRef.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,
completeHandler);
                myFileRef.browse(allTypes);
                try {
                    var success:Boolean = myFileRef.browse();
                } catch (error:Error) {
                    trace("unable to browse for files");
                }
            
                function selectHandler (even:Event):void 
                {
                    try {
                        var params:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
                        params.date = new Date();
                         var request:URLRequest = new

                    }
                }

    I am using the code from the docs and Flex Builder is telling
this 1120: Access of undefined property fileRef.   and that the
selectHandler and completeHandler are undefined properties as well. I
am declaring the var fileRef, so i dont get why its doing this... very
frustrating...
