Hi.

I’m working with uploads and downloads via flash using FileReference class. Uploading file works wonderfull, but how I get the remote directory listing so the user may chose some file to download?

I was thinking about using php to get the file list of a remote directory (folder)…

How do you skilled AS2 programmers do to make some file explorer in flash (or finder…)?

Thanks!
