Air for IOS: The browse operation is unsupported.

[LckDck]

Hi guys,

I'm working on AIR mobile application for iOS. I try to open the Open File dialog box with

var imageTypes:FileFilter = new FileFilter("Images (*.jpg, *.jpeg, *.png)", "*.jpg; *.jpeg; *.png"); 
var file:File = new File();
file.browseForOpen("Open", [imageTypes]);

but I get this error:

Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #3230: The browse operation is unsupported.

Did i do something wrong? Is there any additional settings to use this feature? I use AIR 3.7 with iPhone 4S iOS 6.1 and iPad 2 iOS 6.1.3

iOS doesn't have an Open File dialog box. File.browseForOpen is unsupported on iOS.

You need to look at CameraRoll and cameraRoll.browseForImage to use that on iOS

Thanks a lot, but there is another problem: CameraRoll image browser dialog appears only on iPad2, on iPhone 4S and iPhone 5 it flashes fast and disappears. when I try to open it again, i got this error:

error [ErrorEvent type="error" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2 text="Error #2041: Only one file browsing session may be performed at a time." errorID=2041]

that means the browser dialog is somehow already open, though it's not visible. Do you have any idea how to fix it? Thank you.

Hopefully you have googled 'CameraRoll' and are following documentation on how to use the class. I personally am not aware of any issues with CameraRoll like you are describing. You might be coding something incorrectly.
