Looking now. While I look, how would you define app:/? I mean, of what class it associated?
This? public var localPath:FileReference = app:/; This? public var localPath:String = 'app:/'; andy -----Original Message----- From: Jeffry Houser [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, February 15, 2008 9:05 AM To: Flex Subject: Re: Relative file paths for AIR app dev I think he meant his question a bit rhetorically, as his recommendation is correct. "app:/" will give you a direct line into the application root. "app-storage:/" will get you to user's local storage directory, which (at least on Windows) is not the same as the application install directory. Search the AIR documentation for "Supported URL schemes" for more info. As an indirect correlation, you can get the absolute paths to application root or storage root using two properties on the File class: applicationDirectory and applicationStorageDirectory.
