After you browse for file, you have to call load() and then parse loaded content.

...
fileRef.addEventListener(Event.SELECT,selected);
fileRef.browse(allTypes);
function selected(e:Event):void {
    var fr:FileReference=e.target as FileReference;
    if (!fr) return;
    fr.removeEventListener(Event.SELECT,selected);
    fr.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,image_loadComplete);
    fr.load();
}
