Is there a way to create a new directory or file in application install directory programatically

Dec 17, 2008 10:30 PM

Hi to all,
Is there a way to create a new directory or file in application install directory programatically.
I want a xml file to be created with in the application install directory programatically(not the application storage directory)

I have used the following code snippet:

var file:File = new File();
file = File.applicationDirectory;
file = file.resolvePath("assets");
if(!file.exists)
{
file.createDirectory()
}


I am thrown an exception when using this .....Security Exception

    It is not allowed to write to the App. directory.

    You should write it to applicationStorageDirectory or some other places.

    Thanks, but my main problem is to delete the locally stored data that is stored in the application storage directory when the application is uninstalled.

    The data is not being deleted automatically when the application is uninstalled, thats why I want to write some file to application directory.

    My application is remembering the login username and password even I uninstall the application and reinstall the next time.
