current path of application

[Gert]

I want to update a text file located in the same folder as my project.
The path to the file is relative, e.g. "/xml/myfile.xml"

But I suppose that a relative path does not work with FileStream(fn, data) ... so how to convert the relative path to an absolute one?


This is what I'll have already:

var fn = FlashPlayer.getVariable("_level0.fn")
var data = FlashPlayer.getVariable("_level0.data")

trace(fn) //this returns "/xml/settings.xml"

//so here we need a conversion from relative to absolute path, right? :-\

var file_stream = new FileStream(fn,"w");
file_stream.write(data);


tnx,
Gert

hm, I did find the answer myselve ...
this was the command I was looking for: getAppDir();

so here's the working code:


var path = getAppDir();

var fn = FlashPlayer.getVariable("_level0.SwfKit.updateFile .fn")
var data = FlashPlayer.getVariable("_level0.SwfKit.updateFile .data")
trace(data)
trace(path + fn)

var file_stream = new FileStream(path + fn, "w");
file_stream.write(data);
