I’m pretty sure UNC is not supported. You will have to map a drive or set up a web server.

I tried a couple different things: var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("file://\\\\myserver\myfolder"); var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(); loader.load(request); which gives a stream error and var urlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("file://\\\\myserver\myfolder"); navigateToURL(urlRequest, "_blank"); which opens a browser window with file://myserver\myfolder in the url. I want to open a folder (and hopefully a file) as if the user navigated in to the share and double clicked it. Thanks! -- Alex Harui Flex SDK Team Adobe Systems, Inc. http://blogs.adobe.com/aharui
