Just a quick note because it took me a little while to find out that it’s necessary to use “file://” syntax to access the local file system.
// Basic example: var url: String = "file:///Users/markusraab/Desktop/yourfile.swf"; // or use a file reference: var file: File = new File(); var url: String = file.url; var loader: Loader = new Loader(); loader.load( new URLRequest( url ) );
