If you're talking about the methods available in the DOM, there is the 
click() function, but its IE only.

To sort of cleanly close this thread.  Tim was actually trying to get a 
file upload working from within a flash app.  Generally a lot of flash 
apps use a hidden form and force the file browser to open using the 
click() method.  This is all well and good, but not if you've got non-IE 
site users. 

A bit of a search around turned up this : http://www.yamago.net/components/
Its a flash component that is capable of opening a file browser in any 
browser (or at least just about any browser) and seems to do the job 
pretty well.
