Reading files from local hard disk - Access Local Files Only

Hi All,

I have a local flash file published as 'Access Local Files Only', to allow me to read from local filesystem.

What methods or classes can I use to read text and other files from the user's harddisk.

This is the first time I am trying to do something like this, all help is grealy appreciated.

Thanks

Andy

Hi, thanks for the responses

I did some searching and found that the urlloader class is the right one for the job.

'Access Local Files Only' option is provided for this very purpose I believe.

If anyone has done something like this and have some sample code it would be awesome

Cheers

Andy

If you're targetting Flash Player 10 you could use FileReference.

are you creating an air file? if not, you're very limited in what you can do with the user's file system.
