I know that in order to open a file dialog box and get a file I have to use this code:

myFile = File(File.openDialog("Import XML","XML Files: *.xml"))

This is what I use to open XML files. Now I want to be able to open a folder based on the label of the textFrame. I can get the label and build the file path. How can I open a dialog box that already points to a specific folder? Also, how can I check with the script if there are files within the folder?

Thanks,

Justin M.
