Files, directories and subdirectories count

Question

Hello,
I'm currently building a small AIR application via Flash Builder 4 (FLEX 4) that will count the number of files (EVERY type of file)
in a certain directory (choosen by the user) the problem gets when I have subdirectories,
tried recursive (which is basicly the only solution) and got stuck and confused with myself, can anyone help a brother out here?
            private var directory:File = File.documentsDirectory;
            [Bindable]
            private var count:int = 0;
            public function browseForDirectory():void
                directory.browseForDirectory("Select Directory");
                directory.addEventListener(Event.SELECT, directorySelected);
            public function directorySelected(event:Event):void
                directory = event.target as File;
                var files:Array = directory.getDirectoryListing();
                for(var i:int = 0; i < files.length; i++)
                    myPath.text = directory.nativePath;
            public function countFiles():void
                var files:Array = directory.getDirectoryListing();
                for (var i:int = 0; i < files.length ; i++)
                    count++;
                    if (files[i].isDirectory)
                        count += countFiles();
                myResult.text = count.toString();
Hoping for a quick response, Thanks!

Here is how it is done in java as far as file recursion.  The main deficiencies I see with your code is that you don't discriminate if a file is a directory or a file.  You have to discriminate, so that if your file is a directory, you can invoke the "count" function on it.
