hi~
Is there any way to scan a specific folder, and read all the file names inside that folder ?

Not that I am aware of, although with the ability to download files inside of Flash, it might be possible to prompt the user for a location... whether you can read files is another matter.

The reasoning would likely be that it would be a potential security risk if a web-local file was able to read off users' hard drives at will.

I'm 99% sure you'd have to use a serverside language such as PHP.

McGuffin is correct php is your best bet.
Php is great for accessing the file system.
