Raymond,
Thanks for the quick response.

Is that something I can pass to Spectra's default File or Image object?

Let's say I want to use Spectra's default image and file objects so that I'm
not reinventing the wheel. So I have a custom article object that includes
two images. The first being an author image and the second being an article
body image. When the user is selecting the author image, I don't want them
to have to sort through every image that has been uploaded to the site.
Instead I want author images to be located in the
c:\webroot\images\uploads\authors\ directory. Where do I set the
directoryPath and directoryUrl args?

I hope I'm not confusing the issue here.

Thanks,
Nate

Are you using the directoryPath arg when creating new file obs? Here is an
example from the docs:

<cfscript>
    stParams = structNew();
    stParams.directoryPath = server.cfa.information.mediastorepath;
    stParams.directoryURL = "/allaire/spectra/system/mediastore/";
</cfscript>

<cfa_contentObject
    datasource="#attributes.dataSource#"
    stObject="#stImage.file#"
    stParams = "#stParams#"
    method="upload">

You could change directoryPath:

        stParams.directoryPath = "c:\all\your\base\are\belong\to\us";
