Hello,

I have a problem that I have an application that loads flv files from a directory and I want to make the user select that directory, File.browseForDirectory works on desktop but not on the mobile !!!!

Is there any other way to do so ?

To my knowledge, at this time there is no solid way to navigate the phones folder structure via AIR.  You can readily access its camera roll and that is about it.  But you won't be able to just bring a browser and go whevever you want unfortunately

You can create your own directory picker control.

Use function like File.getDirectoryListing() and display the results in a list.

Inconvenient, but doable.
