I’m working on a Flash piece that browses local files. Is it possible to force the browser to point to an initial local folder as a starting point, once the “browse” function is invoked?

\_root.imageFile.browse([{description: “Image Files”, extension: “_.jpg;_.gif;\*.png”}]);

Right now this just opens to point to the last folder browsed - I’d like to force it to point to a folder named “logos” in the same directory as the main Flash file. Can anyone help? Possible?
