Flex FileReader, file open component??

Question

Hello
Problem 1:
I'm new to flex, and I need help to create a function that can open and read an html source. I know html file cannot be renderd, but I only want to read it's source code and display it into a textArea.
Problem 2:
How can I open a html file in a new browser window from a flex application.To be specific, when I press a button in my application I want the html to be displayd in a new browser tab.
Isn't there a filesystem,filestream .... component in flex?I've searched Felx doc's an google with no luck!Sorry if this kind of question has been asked already. I'm  on a deadline and I would appreciate a quick replay!
Thanks in advance!

There's a dot at the beginning of the address, probably there lies your problem.
connection_request=new URLRequest(".date/euroCV/EuroPass_CV.html");

I tryed your example but still nothing happens when I trigger the button.
Bear with me for minute, i'm just starting with flex.
So my html file that I want to open is located in
project/date/euroCV/EuroPass_CV.html

The function I wrote looks like this:
>
private function openFile():void
                   var connection_request:URLRequest;
                   connection_request=new
URLRequest(".date/euroCV/EuroPass_CV.html");
                   connection_request.data=new URLVariables("");
                   connection_request.method=URLRequestMethod.POST;
                   navigateToURL(connection_request);

then there's the damn button:
>
<mx:Button x="175" y="73" label="EuroCV"  click="openFile()"/>
>
>
What's wrong????
