How to read a property file using Action Script

[Neelima Mohan]

Hi,

I have a property file (fileProperties.txt) which contains a name value pair like below:

FileLocation1 C:/Test/Lookup.xml
FileLocation2 C:/Test/Multiple/MultiLookup.xml

From my ActionScript code I need to read in the fileProperties.txt and extract the Key/Value pair from this file wherein my key is for eg FileLocation1 & corresponding Value is C:/Test/Lookup.xml.
How do I go about this?

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks,
Neelima

Are you trying to read a file on the client machine or the server? If its the client, remember that Flash runs in a sandbox that prevents you doing this unless the swf is registered as trusted.
