    If this is for your PC, I recommend downloading a desktop search tool like Copernic Desktop Search (http://www.copernic.com). I think Flash is excessively sandboxed to perform such a task. It would require the ability to read files from disk, and then ShellExecute a file when the user clicks on it. I'm not sure functions for those tasks are available in Flash. If this is for the web, you could try kludging it into Flash or JavaScript by preindexing it using a separate program that you write, then stuffing that data into the Flash/JavaScript. A better solution would be to use a CGI script.
