asp to read textfile pass vars to flash

Hi all.

I'm trying to read data from a textfile into flash. The textfile is stored in a folder 'DATA' a level up from the root of the website, so Flash cannot read from it directly, so I have to use ASP, which I am not too familiar with..

this is what I have tried:

Code:<%
Option Explicit
' Set up constants
Const ForReading = 1
Const Create = False

' Declare local variables
Dim objFSO ' FileSystemObject
Dim TS ' TextStreamObject
Dim strLine ' local variable to store Line
Dim strFileName ' local variable to store fileName

strFileName = Server.MapPath("../DATA/properties_remaining.txt")

' Instantiate the FileSystemObject
Set objFSO = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

' use Opentextfile Method to Open the text File
Set TS = objFSO.OpenTextFile(strFileName, ForReading, Create)

If Not TS.AtEndOfStream Then

Do While Not TS.AtendOfStream

strLine = TS.ReadLine ' Read one line at a time
Response.Write strLine ' Display that line
Response.Write "<br>"

Loop

End If

' close TextStreamObject
' and destroy local variables to relase memory
TS.Close
Set TS = Nothing
Set objFSO = Nothing
%>




but on IE i get a http internal server error and in NS6 I get the following:

Code:Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a0035'

File not found

/read_data.asp, line 19




can anyone offer any help with this method, or perhaps suggest an alternative?

thanks.

can you explain the directory structure a little more?

what i currently see is:

so the root of the website and the DATA folder are in the same parent folder (AboveRoot). is that correct?

the error occurs on this line right?
Set TS = objFSO.OpenTextFile(strFileName, ForReading, Create)

hi nopoints.. thanks for your reply.. sorry if I have been a little unclear. On the server there are two directories:

HTML and DATA

inside HTML is the root of the website. The error only occurs with Netscape 6, with IE, I get a http 500 internal server error.

thanks.
