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

[rs14smith]

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.

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.

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/

Thank you very much! Thank you too Alex.

You can also access the "Library" folder from the Finder by holding down the alt key while selecting the Go menu. The Library menu item is hidden and revealed by the alt key.

That's a handy thing to know!
