A Flash File Viewer?
kenyabob (303 pencils) | Tue, 2005-06-21 19:17You guys have been crucial consultants on my new site, and so once again, I have a question. One part of my site I would like to build would be sort of a "goodies" bin. A bin where users can access files and pdfs and other various things. What I am looking for is some kind of flash app that would read the contents of a certain folder on the server and display all the files it contained. It would then give the option to download. It wouldn't be too complicated, I just need a way to view a specific folder and I need to be able to stylize that view. It needs to be dynamic so I can change the contents of the folder and not have to edit any html. Any ideas? If I am not explaining the concept clearly, please just tell me.

Ya, unfortunately, that doesn't cover all file types. A php would be okay, I was just wondering if there was anything out there that was sexier.
I think that you can do a directory browser with Flash but, anyhow, you will need php to retrieve the files informations.
Some examples:

Aha! That's what kenyabob meant. I completely misunderstood.
That is exactly what I was looking for, thanks!
