name (FileReference.name property)

public name : String [read-only]

The name of the file on the local disk. If the FileReference object has not been populated, a call to get the value of this property returns null.

All the properties of a FileReference object are populated by calling browse(). Unlike other FileReference properties, if you call download(), the name property is populated when onSelect is invoked.

Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Player 8

listener.onSelect = function(file:FileReference):Void {
    trace("name: " + file.name);
