File I/O Error - Error #2038

I've seen a few posts on this error but none of them seem to solve my
issue.

I'm trying to upload some files via a FileReference object, with a CF
backend. The CFC works fine with smaller files (eg under 300k), but
with files over this size, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

When it doesn't work, I get the following I/O Error:

IOErrorEvent
type="ioError"
bubbles=false
cancelable=false
eventPhase=2
text="Error #2038: File I/O Error.
URL: my URL

The server side script is working, as I can try and upload a smaller
file, and it works. But when I'm getting the I/O error, the app stops
before it even reaches the CFC. I've set a Progress listener to the
FileUpload object, and it seems to just slow down and eventually stop,
throwing the I/O error before file upload has reacherd the total bytes
of the file.

Does anyone know what might be going on here?

Thanks,
K.

This seems to be related to the following:

1. the files you are trying to upload are from a network drive

2. the files you are trying to upload are from a drive that you do not have permissions to

In the above cases when accessing the "size" property of FileReference you will get an exception

You can use the following:

private function getSize(file:FileReference):Number{

try{

return file.size;

}catch(e:Error){

return 0;

}

I received this error only once, when I tried to upload an image using FileReferenceList.browse(filters). The image was corrupted and had no file size. When I tried to get the size of the item, I got the following message:

Error: Error #2038: File I/O Error.
at flash.net::FileReference/get size()

Try wrapping any inspection of the FileReference.fileList items in a try/catch to silence the errors and skip the offensive files:

try{
trace(fileReferenceList.fileList[0].size);
} catch(e:Error){trace(e.message)}

Adobe seems blatantly silent on this issue. Adobe, this and other issues with multifile uploading are a real problem and need to be addressed!
