Accessing file structure on hard disc

Question

hello all,
this is regarding a e-learning project in flash
we have several course modules stored in individual folders
on the hard disc. each course module had it's individual xml file
which describes the module title,description, etc
at the root level i need to develop a main interface which at
runtime identifies the number of modules present (based on number
of folders)
opens each folder, finds the xml file and extracts the module
name and description
populate the list box in the main interface with module
name,a rollover would show the module descripton and on click would
open the relevant module
i am new to action script and do not know how to traverse
folders on action script. i stumbled across the JSAPI and the
newely added FLfile.dll but not sure if .jsfl can be used for this
project
thanks

In general, iTunes organizes according to tags, and does not consider the folder structure.
However, if you want to make a playlist of a single folder, there is an easy way.  File > New Playlist.  Give the playlist a name and open it.  Drag the folder into it.  (Try this will a small folder first so you can see how it works.)
Also, make sure to go into Edit > Preferences > Advanced, and make sure that "Keep..." and "Copy..." are both not checked.  This will prevent iTunes from rearranging your files and folders.
