If you type this on the first frame of your application you will get an error , because the call to swithVideo will happens before the InvokeEvent. add a button to your app and label it btn for example and try this at frame 1:

var appDir:File;

NativeApplication.nativeApplication.addEventListener(InvokeEvent.INVOKE,onInvoke)

function onInvoke (invokeEvent:InvokeEvent):void{
   appDir = invokeEvent.currentDirectory;
}

function switchVideo(st:String):void {
      trace(appDir.nativePath);
}

btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickVideo);

function clickVideo (evt:MouseEvent):void{
   switchVideo("Video");
}

so the problem was that you were calling switchVideo before onInvoke takes place, and the appDir variable was not populated yet.

var AppDir;

function onInvoke(e:InvokeEvent) {
    AppDir = e.currentDirectory;
    trace(AppDir.nativePath); // traces the path
}

function switchVideo(st:String) {
    var fileStream:FileStream = new FileStream();
    fileStream.openAsync(AppDir.resolvePath("aA.txt"), FileMode.WRITE);
    fileStream.writeUTFBytes("A");
    fileStream.close();

   trace(AppDir.nativePath); // throws an Error
}

SwitchVideo("Video");

Why AppData is not recognized only in the onInvoke() function dispached by
the Invoke Event?

What version of Air ?
"flash.desktop.NativeApplication" is for beta2 and beta3 if you're
using
an older version you need to use "flash.System.Shell" instead.

Hey,
Um doing some kiosk database driven Application in AIR, and I
need to
return


the absolute directory path of the .fla file itself in order to
be
able

to


write files in the same application directory.

I tried:

var path:File.applicationStorageDirectory;
trace(path.nativePath) // it returned some other directory
inside
"documents


and settings"

any Idea?
