Hi,
If you use file reference with an AIR app you have access to the file path, with a browser based app security prevents you from having access to the file path you can access the name of the file only.
this is an example of grab a list of files(images) using filereferencelist and filereference and displaying the image in a list, its a similar process for just getting a list of file names
http://gumbo.flashhub.net/pagedrop/  sourcecode enabled (right click in the browser and select view source)
for filereference  the name property will return the file name only not the path
for filereferencelist you have the .filelist[X].name to get the file name.
hope this helps
