Answer 1

If it's a web flex app, you can't do it.

However, if you are using AIR, use the File class

Answer 2

var file:File = File.documentsDirectory.resolvePath("some\\where\\file.xml");
if( file.exists) Alert.show( "Found");

You can also use

File.applicationStorageDirectory
File.applicationDirectory
File.desktopDirectory
File.documentsDirectory
File.userDirectory
