hey Tjitte,
Yes there is a standard file browser API / method under the File class called browse(); It will open a dialog up on screen showing you a list of files and when you select a file it will dispatch an Event.SELECT event and with it the file data. Using the following code will cause a dialog to pop up:
import flash.filesystem.File;
(...)
var myFile:File = new File();
myFile.browse();
myFile.addEventListener(Event.SELECT, chooseFile);
(...)
public function chooseFile(e:Event):void
{
trace(e.target.nativePath);
}
You can run it in both the desktop and simulator environments and see the difference. In the simulator you will be wanting more. you are probably better off creating your own. good luck!
for more information on the File class and how to utilize its methods, here are the ASDocs:
