Because of security restrictions, the Flash Player running in the browser can not access the user's file system. The only way to do this is to wrap your flex swf in something like Zinc which allows it to run as a desktop application, or of course Adobe Apollo, which is in alpha/almost-beta right now.

Thanks, :)
