FLASH: Getting Info from File on Disk (Flash 4)

[Melton, Richard A Contractor/NCCIM]

I am trying to read the content from a file on the user's hard drive, and if a

certain numeric or string value is in the file, take an action in Flash.


I have looked at ReadURL and FSCommand, but haven't found the way to do this.


How can this be done?



Rick
