Hi all,

```
      I am making a [COLOR=Red]MP3 player[/COLOR] in flash. Due to security reasons, flash won't give you path when i browse for mp3 files. But here is an advantage of selecting multiple files using flash.

    And in HTML, I can get the path of file i browsed using &lt;file&gt; tag. But the drawback here is I can't select multiple files at once.

    So for this, what I did is, I executed Flash function from HTML using [COLOR=Red]ExternalInterface[/COLOR]( Flash method to communicate with HTML) which opens open dialog box for selecting files. I can select multiple files now.  

```

But my problem is, How can I track the Path of the files in HTML.

I am not good at HTML, so somebody pls help me out…

[COLOR=Red]I attached the sample files for reference… [/COLOR]

Thanks  
pandu 🙂
