Actionscript to list files in a directory

Question

I'm looking for some sample Actionscript or tutorial that
will give me a list of files in a webhost directory. The webhost
directory is on the same server as the SWF file.

Answer 1

I use a very simple ASP page (asp extensions must be enabled
in iis, are you using iis?)
<%@ LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" %>
<% OPTION EXPLICIT %>
<%
Dim myFSO, myFolder, myFile
Set myFSO = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set myFolder = myFSO.GetFolder("C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\Servier\"
+ Request("folder"))
Dim myList
myList = "files_list="
For Each myFile in myFolder.Files
myList = myList + myFile.Name + ","
Next
Response.Write myList
%>
Then in ActionScript:
var result_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
var send_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
send_lv.sendAndLoad("ListFolder.asp?folder="+yourFolder,
result_lv, "POST");
result_lv.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
if (success) {
for (var n = 0;
n<result_lv.files_list.split(",").length-1; n++) {
something = result_lv.files_list.split(",")[n]; // do what
you need to do with the file name
} else { // display an error message.
mx.controls.Alert.show("Error getting a Folder's content:
"+yourFolder, "");
