[font=verdana, arial, helvetica][size=2]Dear gurus and members,  
I am new to actionscript. Is there a way to find the number of mp3 files on the server using Actionscript? For example, I want to load all the mp3 files stored in a path on the server and I would like to assign a variable to hold the value for number of files. The variable is later being used for another purpose. How can I do so? I am very new in programming and know nothing much about actionscript. I would be very glad if someone could share the expertise and knowledge in this area with me. Looking forward to some replies soon.

Thanks in advance,
