Get list of midi files

[d.healey]

filelist is an array of objects. So filelist[i] is an object not a string. Try Console.print(trace(filelist[i])); to see what is contained within your object.

Console.print(trace(filelist[i]));

It returns

Interface: undefined

@dustbro If you're going to copy and paste things that I write you should check that I've written it correctly ;) Your variable is called fileList, not filelist.

fileList

I've been sitting at the computer for 13 hours... maybe I need a break.

Now that I'm using variables that actually exist in my project, it returns empty:

Also, thanks for the help.

What do you get with Console.print(fileList.length);?

[Dan Korneff]

@d-healey 15, which is the amount of files in my test folder

[d.healey]

Try this in place of your loop

for (f in fileList)
{
	Console.print(f.toString(File.FullPath));
}

I also notice you're using some vars, always use local in inline functions, and in on init use reg or const. 99% of the time var should not be used except in paint routines, mouse callbacks, timer callbacks, and occasionally a few other places.

Now we're talking! that returns the file path correctly

[d.healey]

@dustbro Yeah it's late here :) the objects in your array are all file objects so you have access to all of the File class functions, like toString()

Thanks for this advice as well.
