Importing directory contents locally?

Question

Hi
I'm wondering if someone can point me to any resources that will help me learn how to do the following (I'm using Flash CS5 and Air).
- import the contents of a particular local dir into variables
or
- import the contents of a particular local dir into a datagrid
then
allow these filenames to be dragged into cells in another data grid (alternatively, into input text fields), so that the data can then be placed into more variables.
Thanks for your leads.
Shaun

Path dir = ...;
DirectoryStream<Path> stream = null;
try {
stream = dir.newDirectoryStream();
for (Path file: stream) {
System.out.println(file.getName());
} catch (IOException x) {
//IOException can never be thrown by the iteration.
//In this snippet, it can only be thrown by newDirectoryStream.
System.err.println(x);
} finally {
if (stream != null) stream.close();

Where is it defined?>You might try looking further around that 'website' you mentioned. But short of you supplying an URL, how on earth would you expect us to know?
