I'd like to provide a simple interface to browse files and and sub-folder inside a directory using the FileSystemList in Flex, but I don't know how to use it.

I tried the following example using flex 3.5 on a mac, but it doesn't work :

<mx:FileSystemList directory="{File.desktopDirectory}"/>

The code could be either flex 3.5 or 4.

as seen on Stack Overflow - Search for 'Stack Overflow'
In Flex3, I could compile pure as3 code and use "embed" tags to load in images. This was done by Flex making a BitmapAsset class. I can still do this in Flex4.
