On Click Pop up Dir

[theredqueen]

Hi - i need to know a command to use for when a user clicks a button, a directory is popped up.
Basically i have a directory of pictures, which will be shipped on the cd, and i want this directory to open...
The movie is in an executable popup box, not within browser.
I'm thinking javascript, but i'm not totally sure.
Thanks in advance,
John x

as far i have seen, we cant do that in flash. some programmers work around it by using <INPUT TYPE=FILE> in html. not even generator could make flash do that. sori. however there are java applications that may be of use to you. like JUpload or something of that sort. It opens a file select interface.

And this JUpload is?
I have, like a day to do this now - i hoped there would be a directory command...doh!

Although, I've managed to use FSCommand to open up a dos window displaying the directory listing (of the directory where the projector is located), I can't get it to stay opened and don't know if this would even help you anyway!
Working with a batch file (.bat) might work... But I'm not very good with dos!

Maybe have a look at this:

Could possibly be of some help!

Thanks to everyone that helped, but i've actaully managed to get the directory's to open in the user's standard browser very simply

on (release) {
getURL (&quot;D:/placebo/&quot;, &quot;_blank&quot;
}

as my movie is loading from a cd, i can do this, as i know the path -...as long as the user is loading from standard d:/ drive!
any clue of a way to get round this? cheers
