Error #2041: Only one file browsing session may be performed at a time

Aug 10, 2007 9:59 AM

Hi,
I've posted this question before but so far it's gone unanswered. I'd appreciate any help on this issue:

My application allows user to do either single or multiple file uploads. There are to buttons for each type. When either is pressed an instance of the FileReference or FileReference class is created.

It works fine if only do one type of successive uploads: single files only, or multiple files only. BUT whenever I switch from one type to another (i.e., I start uploading single files, and then press the button to upload multiple ones) I get the following error:

Error #2041: Only one file browsing session may be performed at a time.

How do I close or eliminate file browsing sessions? The complete event doesn't seem to do much on this respect.

Thanks so much.

    I don't know if this would work but i suggest it anyway. How about that on this kind of situation your Flash would send via Javascript an instruction to browser. It would be something like this: reload this Flash application with following parameters: (some parameters). Those parameters would instruct Flash to load that very same page where situation occured. But now "the table is clean".

    Hi Temudzin,

    Thanks for your suggestion and thanks for looking into this... It works the way you suggested. Nevertheless after some troubleshooting I found out that you can do the single and multiple uploads without having to reload flash.

    First, any time you start a new upload (either single or multiple) you have to create a new instance of the appropriate upload class (FileReference or FileReferenceList respectively). Then you have to make sure that when the upload(s) are completed you make that instance null. This removes any opened browsing sessions.

    With the upload class instance made null next time you want to upload something, you are basically starting from scratch --and that's why you create a new upload instance with any new upload attempt.

    This is only necessary if you're allowing users to do either multiple or single uploads simultaneously. If you are going to stick to a unique type of uploads ( single file only or multiple files only at any time) you can just declare the class instance once and don't need to make it null at the end of the upload process.

    Ok, take care and thank you.

    apply the cancel() method to your filereference instance.
