Can any any one explain how to acees files, I am geting the error when i used to access the data from files

pls help me, iam w8ng,

here is my code

var myFile:File = File.applicationStorageDirectory.resolvePath("sample.txt");
		var fs:FileStream;
		
		if(myFile.exists)
			Alert.showAlertDialog("File Found");
		else {
			Alert.showAlertDialog("File Not Found");
		}
		
		var fileStream:FileStream = new FileStream(); 
		fileStream.open(myFile, FileMode.READ);
		
		var fileContents:String = fileStream.readUTFBytes(fileStream.bytesAvailable);

i stored the file in the src folder in the project.

So your file only exists as a result of the app being installed, then, vs. being created when the app runs?  If so, your file would be in File.applicationDirectory, not in the applicationStorageDirectory.  

See This old post for info on mapping aliases to the app sandbox directories.

Should'nt it be:

var myFile:File = File.applicationStorageDirectory.resolvePath("sample.txt");

var fs:FileStream;
		
if(myFile.exists)
{
  trace("File Found");
  var fileStream:FileStream = new FileStream(); 
  fileStream.open(myFile, FileMode.READ);
  var fileContents:String = fileStream.readUTFBytes(fileStream.bytesAvailable);  
  fileStream.close();
}
else
{
  trace("File Not Found");
}
