Actually archive holds a fileobject, but in a string context it gets
converted as needed. Use your favorite javascript string functions to
truncate from the last slash forward. (It'd be really convenient if the
filespecobjects had a parent() method, but they don't.)
But unless you really want the archive itself, you might be better off
getting the system's idea of the temporary location directly:
getFolder("Temporary")
