@Igor

You problem is IE6. Do not support it. It’s 2010. No matter what your site is, we all deal with this crap IE6 support. After much research and debate, we’ve decided that given IE6 users are generally too stupid to upgrade their browsers, they are also likely to be least actionable users on our site. That is to say, they are the least probable to convert into any meaningful action (register, upload, buy, etc). Don’t waste your energy on the IE6 morons. They are an edge-case. And a highly unprofitable and time-consuming one at that.

Hello! Jo and Alex you’re right. There is a bug. Didn’t had time to test it till now. My guess is that there is a problem in the refresh function.

Instead of doing this

downloadList.dataProvider = new ArrayCollection();

do this

fileListProvider = new ArrayCollection();

Thanks for pointing it out. Also changed in the article. Thank you guys.

Hi, I added some files, clicked refresh, after that could not add new files, they just do not come up in a list.

You need to use crossdomain.xml file on the server's root to grant access from outside server's domain. Please take a look at this cross domain article.

Hi, Great article. I had no problems testing the code. I tried to use my own servers. In the development application (flex) I can run it with no problems but when I call it from the web address I can’t see the file’s list.
