It’s funny, actually, recently I was trying to remember which class was doing what I’m about to explain, and about the same time it happened.
If I had to choose, FileReference would be the strange fruit of the actionscript 3.0 classes. Only if I had to choose, though… I mean, I’m in a life or death situation, and my only way out is to choose which class is the strangest. In that case I would choose FileReference. Some might choose the Sound class, but me, yea, definitely FileReference… Continue reading ‘FileReference – Can I get an IO Error?’
