I'm not sure on that but it may be correct. The model variables I references in the code below were set as follows in my app:
public static const DATABASE_PATH : String = File.applicationStorageDirectory.nativePath; public static const DATABASE_FILE_NAME : String = 'stats.db'; the application storage directory by default (on XP) is C:\Documents and Settings\USER_NAME\Application Data\APPLICATION_NAME That's where I reference all my extra files out of. I would think this would still work with modules, wouldn't it?
