How to Open Local File in AS3?

Question

Hi, i have some code that looks like this

function main9Click(event:MouseEvent):void { 

var main9URL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("N:\ICT\Nationals\Unit 2\Pages\Cars");

navigateToURL(main9URL, "_self"); 

}

mainBtn6.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, main9Click);

I need to make it open so when you click on that button it opens the file

Cheers Sean

Answer 1

you need to make a relative path. im not sure that flash will like opening things on the hard drive anyway due to security policy. think about researching Air which is more for desktop applications.
