Air: write to the application storage directory during installation?

I am writing an Adobe Air HTML application. I want to write to the application store directory during installation and thought you could point me in the right direction.

I have a set of examples of “profiles” (text files) for inclusion in our application. I would like to give examples in the application store (or document store), as the user can delete, modify, etc. In addition, I do not want to overwrite files during updates, only the initial installation.

But, as far as I can tell, the installer only writes to the application directory. Is there a simple command line change for ADT to send files to the application storage directory?

Here's my thought so far of a workaround:

  • Include files in the Examples app directory

  • At startup, check if the "Examples" folder is in the application store / document directory

  • If this does not exist, copy the application folder: / Examples to the application / document storage directory

But it would be much easier if it were part of the installer. Let me know if any other information would be helpful. Thank!

There is no way to configure a regular AIR installer. Your workaround is the way to do this.
