Where Is File Stored On Computer When Using: File.applicationStorageDirectory

When using the File.applicationStorageDirectory function, where is Adobe storing the program on an Windows/Apple computer? I know what it means, but I would just like to be able to verify for myself that the file is being created when I'm developing my application.

Hiding that was a change in Mountain Lion I think. You can get there by choosing Go to Folder in Finder (from the Go menu), and enter this:

/Users/irobot/Library/

Adobe Flash Platform * Working with File objects in AIR

Windows: C:\Documents and settings\userName\ApplicationData\applicationID\Local Store

Mac: path/Library/Application Support/applicationid/Local Store (AIR 3.3 and later), where path is is either /Users/userName/Library/Containers/bundle-id/Data (sandboxed environment)                     or /Users/userName (when running outside a sandboxed environment)

For the Mac, I don't see a "Library" folder under my username and I am an Administrator. See attached image.
