Hi, IMHO you have a choise

[INDENT]1[/INDENT]
[INDENT]- create web service wich returns all/needed files from arcgis server output directory (for example: .NET Directory.GetFiles() );[/INDENT]
[INDENT]- call this service from flex client (Your flex map application)[/INDENT]
[INDENT]all business logic run on server[/INDENT]

or

[INDENT]2[/INDENT]
[INDENT]- create geoprocessing task wich retuns all/needed files from arcgis server output directory, publish task on arcgis server;[/INDENT]
[INDENT]- call this task using arcgis api for flex;[/INDENT]
[INDENT]all business logic run on arcgis server[/INDENT]

or

[INDENT]3[/INDENT]
[INDENT]- configure arcgis output directory as virtual directory (here is discussion);[/INDENT]
[INDENT]- access it from flex client (Your flex map application);[/INDENT]
[INDENT]- loop through folder contents to get needed file names;[/INDENT]
[INDENT]all business logic on client side;[/INDENT]

thkns for the help...

i've done an xml list of all documents updated with a macro using excel (these are stored in a file server so i simply used the url cause are public documents), after i've used this xml list as config for my widget and listed it with datagrid, i understand thats not the best way to do it but al least works...
