here's code from the flash help files (which is what you should be using):
import flash.net.FileReference;
var listener:Object = new Object();       
listener.onSelect = function(file:FileReference):Void {
    trace("onSelect: " + file.name);
    if(!file.upload("http://www.yourdomain.com/yourUploadHandlerScript.cfm")) {  // use your own file handling server url file
        trace("Upload dialog failed to open.");
listener.onCancel = function(file:FileReference):Void {
    trace("onCancel");
listener.onOpen = function(file:FileReference):Void {
    trace("onOpen: " + file.name);
listener.onProgress = function(file:FileReference, bytesLoaded:Number, bytesTotal:Number):Void {
    trace("onProgress with bytesLoaded: " + bytesLoaded + " bytesTotal: " + bytesTotal);
listener.onComplete = function(file:FileReference):Void {
    trace("onComplete: " + file.name);
listener.onHTTPError = function(file:FileReference):Void {
    trace("onHTTPError: " + file.name);
listener.onIOError = function(file:FileReference):Void {
    trace("onIOError: " + file.name);
listener.onSecurityError = function(file:FileReference, errorString:String):Void {
    trace("onSecurityError: " + file.name + " errorString: " + errorString);
var fileRef:FileReference = new FileReference();
fileRef.addListener(listener);
fileRef.browse();
