Description Josh Bressers 2008-10-08 18:54:33 UTC 
Previosuly ActionScript could initiate uploads and downloads without user
interaction.  Flash Player 10 beta changes this behavior.
FileReference.browse and FileReference.download calls now can only be
initiated via user interaction, such as click the mouse or pressing keys on
the keyboard.
