Is it possible in Flash to create a File List Box which does the same job as the “Open” window in Windows applications? I want users to be able to navigate to a file and then load it rather than have the filename pre-set for loading. I have done code to load the files, and that works well, I just cannot seem to be able to create code to set up an interface to allow the selection of files from existing folders.  
Yours hopefully… R
