List subfolders in a function

Hi,

I want to add a small function to a script that logs the name of every subfolder in the root folder/parent folder of the one I am working from.

Here is what I have so far:

var docRef = app.activeDocument;
var sourceFolder = Folder (docRef.path);
var sourceName = sourceFolder.name;
var rootFolder= Folder (sourceFolder.path);
var rootName = rootFolder.name;
function sLog (){
    var folderName = String(rootFolder.name);
    var sub = folderName.includeSubFolders;
    alert (sub);
    }
sLog();

I want the alert to be able to list every folder.

Any ideas?

Something like this.

#target photoshop;
var folders =[];
var topLevel = Folder.selectDialog("Please select top level folder");    
folders = FindAllFolders(topLevel, folders);
folders.unshift(topLevel);
alert(folders.join("\n"));
function FindAllFolders( srcFolderStr, destArray) {
    var fileFolderArray = Folder( srcFolderStr ).getFiles();
    for ( var i = 0; i < fileFolderArray.length; i++ ) {
        var fileFoldObj = fileFolderArray;
        if ( fileFoldObj instanceof File ) {            
        } else {
         destArray.push( Folder(fileFoldObj) );
        FindAllFolders( fileFoldObj.toString(), destArray );
        }
    }
    return destArray;
};

Cheers Merlin, this result includes the full path.

Any ideas on how to remove the path "~/Documents/Base/FileName" so it just shows "FileName" for the list?
