I'm building an AIR app with FlashBuilder 4 in VMWare Fusion, so it's running in a virtual Windows XP machine, not on the metal (which is OS X, for those keeping score). I've got some code that is writing a PDF file to the virtual machine's desktop. Writing and saving the PDF are fine. I'm using the following code for an "open the PDF" button:
var myFile:File = File.desktopDirectory.resolvePath(printPDF); navigateToURL( new URLRequest( myFile.url ) ); That works fine, opening this URL in my browser: file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/UserName/Desktop/theClientFile.PDF That works fine, BUT if I go into VMWare -- Settings, Sharing, and turn ON "Desktop", the URL I get instead is this: file:////vmware-host/Shared%20Folders/Desktop/theClientFile.PDF ...which is incorrect (I just get a blank browser window). Has anyone else run into this? Any suggestions? Thanks, Nolan
