There are several functions we want to enable or disable based on whether we are running under windows or under linux. I have an init file parameter that lets me handle this, but we seem to often forget to set that param every time we publish. Is there anyway a runtime Flex AIR application can determine its host operating system? runtimeVersion and sandboxType do not seem to give me what I want.
