Author Reading files to make a list.

I have created a small menu.swf file that loads full-screen on a single use
computer. (This application is NOT intended for the internet). The menu.swf is
works like a type of juke box to help users select mp3's on the hard drive. I
have created buttons to open folders to show the mp3's, like:

on(release) {
getURL("C:\\audio_files\\jazz"); //double back slash used as escape
character for folder path
}

My question is: This opens a typical window with the title bar, menu bar and
address bar. (I'm using Window XP Home). How can I retrieve the contents of the
folder (titles of the mp3's) and make a list in a flash pop-up window? The user
should be able to click on an mp3 title (in other words, these are links) and
have Winamp play it. I assume any javascript (and actionscript) will be in the
flash file because there is no html page.

My other question is: Does anyone know what actionscript I could use with a
flash button to shut down the computer?
