Adobe Air全球应用程序数据

Question

Does anyone know of a "Global" Application data for Adobe Air?

File.applicationStorageDirectory stores within the users area?

But we need the application to store information for the whole computer.

Something such as Windows: C:\\ProgramData or AllUsers but there doesn't seem to be an official way to use these areas. (Trying to keep this as Standard as possible)

But there doesn't seem to be a File.allUsersApplicationStorage or File.globalApplicationData anything.

Now I know I could do something such as below for Windows Vista/7

var _path:String = File.applicationDirectory.nativePath;
// _np: C:\Program Files (x86)\ProgName\
_path = _path.substr(0, _np.indexOf(File.separator) + 1);
// _np: C:\
var _file = new File(_path).resolvePath("ProgramData/ProgName");

but I do not know what to do for WinXP, MacOS or Linux.

Any help would be welcome.

Answer 1

Couldn't you just use File.applicationDirectory ? (Or rather, a subdirectory of it.) That would store your information in the application directory, and would be accessible from all users.

It might not be ideal, but it works.
