Hello there, I'm creating an extension for Google Chrome, so any code has to be compatible with Chrome and Chrome only. In this extension, I need the user to select a folder from his local machine. This simple task is becoming quite a problem. The chrome extensions options page will not run applets, so I couldn't really do Java. It's Google Chrome only so an ActiveX object is out of the question as well. I just need a simple way of selecting a folder(not a file) and passing its path to Javascript. Might this be possible in Flash Actionscript? It seems FileReference and FileReferenceList classes in AS only allow you to choose a file, and not a folder. Is there another possibility besides Flash? All the options page files DO rest on the local users machine, so it's not server side.
Thank you for your time.
