Although there are no doubt exceptions, in general you want to avoid using full paths, and instead use the handles provided by the AIR environment. That way data will be put in the right place regardless of which operating system the application is installed on.
On the same machine, the handle will point to the same place in the filesystem for both debugging and release versions, except that the file for the application itself will be slightly different. The debug version will just be the name of the application whereas the release version will contain some sort of unique id (which I'm not sure how AIR generates although I would guess that it is related to the certificate used to sign the release version). So for example, I have a hello world application. When I am in debug mode, I store my local data here: C:\Documents and Settings\[my username]\Application Data\AIRHelloWorld But the release version is here: C:\Documents and Settings\[my username]\Application Data\AIRHelloWorld.1A63E0D1F441D84D82E5395BB5C59EA19782A4AD.1 See the air documentation on the available file system handles, and where they point.

While debugging AIR apps in FLEX3, what is the storage directory to write files (windows)?. Once the application is compiled and installed, the default directory is something like: C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\ Application Data\Test.XXX\ Local Store\ (windows xp). But what if I'm only debugging the app? Thanks in advance!
