  Try/catch.
 
 
 Try/catch won't help since it doesn't work, period. 

Do you mean to tell me that if you attempt to instantiate a new FileReference, 
that try/catch won't allow you to determine that the attempt failed and do 
something based on that failure?

Can you post your code that didn't work?

Try/catch won't help since it doesn't work, period.  My first challenge is to 
get it to actually work in Flash 10.  I did some searching around and I think I 
may be able to compile it for 10.  In that case, I think it will work in 9 
except for any features that require 10.  Does anyone know much about this?
