[size=4][font=Comic Sans MS][color=#680aac]I’m trying to use some of the JSFL File system features, and they don’t work. I do have the right version (7.2, right?), and I think I have them typed right.

```auto

originalFileURI = "blahblah";
newFileURI = "blahblah";
FLfile.copy(originalFileURI, newFileURI);
if (FLfile.exists(newFileURI)) {
    alert("The file has been copied");
} else {
    alert("The file wasn't copied");
}

```

I also can’t get the “alert” function to work. If anyone can help, please do.[/color]
