I'm not sure that flex or any other software is going to be able to help you with that one. I have a scenario where I need to identify resources on a DVD disk, it's necessary to loop though the system root drives and test each one for the presence of a file that I know to be on the DVD. I suspect that you may have to do something similar I'm afraid (either that or ask the user). -----Original Message----- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of zdenekmikan Sent: 14 April 2008 09:45 To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Platform independent paths in AIR I am not using hard coded paths. My app uploads files (jpeg images selected by browseForOpenMultiple) from LAN volume, e.g mapped to O: on PC. To be able to get access to these files from Mac AIR app I need the name of server which is mapped to this O: letter. And to be able to access files uploaded from Mac on PC I need to know the letter on which the server with saved name is mapped on PC.
