RE: [Flashcoders] Browse folders from flash
...and in mx04, you would need to use javascript or some other slightly kludgey solution, like the yamzbrowser one. Basically use a hidden form field and javascript to trigger a 'press' of the 'browse' button on the hidden form in a 0% height frame or some such thing. I have used it in the past with mixed degrees of success.

RE: [Flashcoders] Browse folders from flash
File class in Java. Represents files and directories. http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/io/File.html You can do some searches and find a ton of tutorials on this I imagine, although the API is fairly straight-forward. The list() method is what you're interested in. As far as communication goes, you're going to have to use the Socket and ServerSocket classes. They make the task of communication between Flash and Java near painless. I can send a little sample socket server over if you want.

Re: [Flashcoders] Browse folders from flash
I'm not sure if anyone mentioned this but have you looked at screenweaver? http://osflash.org/screenweaver I have not tried it myself, still using Zinc, maybe someone else has?

Re: [Flashcoders] Browse folders from flash
Thanks again. Scott, I'm not sure java could explore local client machine directories. Could you send me any link? To link java code with flash...Could I use flash remoting? Regards.

You could check out the site and check tutorials or sample files, I am sure they have onethat does exactly what you need it to do. :) I'm not sure if anyone mentioned this but have you looked at screenweaver? http://osflash.org/screenweaver I have not tried it myself, still using Zinc, maybe someone else has?
