Dear Lau:
There is no way to read the file length passively without opening it, insofar
as I know. However, it is easy to find the length ONCE you've opened it for
reading:
var myFile = new File("c:\temp\myfile.txt");
myFile.open("r");
alert('myFile length: ' + myFile.getLength());
This should work well, and you can always close the file immediately thereafter.
