[font=Comic Sans MS][size=4][color=#680aac]I’m getting ready to start making a .swf (for later .exe-ing in Jugglor), that looks in a folder, and makes a copy of each file with a certain extension in that folder, and renames it as a .bak. Any ideas? It would have to be able to look at the files on your pc, through the file system API, I guess? Post back ASAP, please![/color][/size][/font]
