I am using SWF Studio already which allows me to open an external .bat file by clicking a button in flash.I now need to open another file but this time i dont know the exact name of the file but it will be the only .cfg file in the folder.Does anyone know of a way to open a file just by the file extension alone without specifying the name?Here is my origional code for opening the .bat file:[code]i have tried using the above code and just replacing the "\Test Link.bat" part to "\*.cgf" but that doesnt do it.
I've got this app that processes what I call "packs". (which are essentially just zip files).

i am working on a flash-based report project (we'll run it on CD) for past week, I'm new to AS3 , got in so many troubles because of it. but finally got it working fine. but there is a problem with the final act, i want to open a PDF file using flash alone. it was very easy using AS2's getURL function and worked like a charm but its a different story in AS3, i worked on it so much that it gives me a headache whenever i think about it.I searched and read almost every article on the web concerning this, the only think that works for me is navigateToURL,but it opens the file in web browser and that I'd rather not have.so i want to ask if there is a way to actually open a PDF file external source such as H.D.D using pure AS or I'll need to take a look on zinc and air?this is the code i used for the linking job :
Actionscript Code: myDataGrid.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, clicker);function clicker(evt:Event) { var SSL:String = evt.target.selectedItem.item; var path:String = "Books/"+SSL+".pdf";

In my Flash application users must be able to download or open PPT files nested in application's subfolder.When I run .*swf file, it works fine (Save file dialog appears), but if I run .exe file, nothing happens.[code]I suspect that "navigateToURL" function doesn't work in this case.

Is there any way to determine a file type from a url when the file extension is not a reliable indicator? Since there are different APIs for playing video, audio, or displaying images, you need to know the filetype beforehand.

I have been working on a project for a week and suddenly it crashed during save (nothing strange had been imported or anything i just saved after moving content around) and now i cant open my file again. I contacted adobe support who claim that since the problem is related to the file this is not their problem, what a load of HORSE ****, who should i contact about this dell if its an FLA FILE!? I have already renamed the file to flash.zip then opened with WinRar and repaired as a new zip file to a different folder (which removes the corrupt content which is document something.xml) then i tried renaming this folder back to flash.fla however the file still does not open.
