get contents of dropbox folders and sub-folders?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Apologies in advance for what most likely will be a stupid question.

I thought I remembered from a year ago that when you get metadata for a folder, 
you get file info from it and all subfolders (recursive).  

Perhaps I wrongly remembered as the only way I've found for me to get all the 
files in a directory and subdirectories is to run
dropAPI.metadata(folder, 1000, "", true) and if a folder is detected, run 
another dropAPI.metadata but for the subfolder, and so on (the data contained 
in the folder is not reported). 

My Q is, is there a simpler way of doing this?

Thanks,
Andy.

No, there are no simpler way of doing this, since this functionality should be 
provided by the api. the api will only provide the basic function, which is 
strictly following the official dropbox api definitions

Hi there, well, it took a few weeks of polishing the code in my spare time, but 
here's v1 of my sync code: https://bitbucket.org/andytwoods/dropbox-as3-sync

As before, scary indeed having one's underwear (code) open to the world!  I'm 
self taught so keen for feedback :)

No unit testing yet.  To come.  Been putting off figuring out FlexTest async 
tests.
