No i cant use XML since eventually it will be a PLS file (Winamp
Shoutcast), I wrote a library that parses a PLS file (Playlist file
from Winamp Shoutcast server) (http://code.google.com/p/as3plsreader/)
this all works fine from with AIR, IF I have the file already saved to
local disk.
So my final test is to directly load the PLS from the shoutcast server.
That why i need to convert the event.target.data to a File... Cant i do:
var f:File = new File(event.target.data) ?
Do you have any other suggestion on how to do this?

Yup, I saw file content in debug window.
If it does work, my question becomes something different;
How do i convert the loaded in data (one big string) to a File
object ?
Use xml instead of text?
- Can i add data to a File Object?
- Can i create a new temporary File Object and and string data to it?
Nope and nope.
The data property of a File object is read only. Check the docs.
You typically use a File object in combination with a FileStream
instance to read/write to disk.

I save it in memory and pass it through to the rest.
Depends on what the "rest" is, but you can pass a File object
around, just like any other object.

Hi Muzak,
And when you trace out you do get the contents of the file?
