Seems simple, but I am at a loss. How do i get the "working" directory? To clarify, the directory that the air application is executed from?

Hi,

Please try the File.applicationDirectory. This will give you File object
pointing to the folder where the application was installed. There are more such
properties, please visit the URL below for more details.

Hope this helps.

SujitG,

thank you. I feel like a big DUH is needed here. In my haste of reading the available methods I interpreted the File.applicationDirectory as the directory where flex was installed.
