Local file access?

[bugman_2000]

Hi,

I've searched the forum and I know I'm not the only person wondering, but can somebody verify for me whether it is possible to access the local (client side) file system? I would like to write an application where the user specifies a local directory and the application scans the directory for files. Can this be done with Laszlo, and if so, are there any good code examples anyone could point me to?

Thanks,

Tony

Nope, theres no direct local file access. Its a flash security thing. As far as i know you can save/load sol files though, but you can't browse through folders or scan directories like that.

If you want to know more about the sol stuff, have a search: http://forum.openlaszlo.org/search.php?searchid=93414

So, something like this is not possible with Laszlo?

If not, I'd be very grateful for any pointers to what kind of platform I might consider for this kind of thing.
