I want to get the path of the file (in which the script is run), with out the file name.

how to do that?

at present i have the following code:

```auto

var filename1=flash.documents[0].name;
fl.trace("this file name >>> "+filename1);
var filePath = flash.documents[0].path; // getting doc path
fl.trace("File path "+filePath); 

```

and i get the following in output window

```auto

this file name >>> testing2.fla
File path E:\Flash JSFL	est2	esting2.fla

```
