Hi Guys  
I know how to basically use the air functions but is it possibly to identify the actual path hwt ai men is that on each machine the documents directory as a String will be different. How just to read the path of the documents directory?  
\<code\>  
var directory:File = File.documentsDirectory; //File Object  
\</code\>  
Best
