Flash AS3 FileReference - select and download multiple files one at a time

I currently have swf that allows you to select and display a file and upload it to the server using FileReference. This works fine, but I need to be able to select and display several (up to 25 in some cases), and then load them all at the end.

I know that you can use FileReferenceList to simultaneously select multiple files in a popup dialog, but my problem is that the user needs to select one at a time, make material for this image, then choose another, do things and so on ... then at the end, when they click on download, upload them all to the server.

Is this possible or is there a way, so I can add each new selected file to the array, and then at the end it loads all the files in the array either in one pass or through each loop, until all the objects in the array are full?

Can anyone help? I will send the complete code for my working download of a single file below.

Please help me, I am limited to flash memory and studied only 3-4 months, and I’ve been stuck for more than a week :(
