I'm using air for this and so far I can make bitmaps and convert them into 
jpegs from within my app and place them on the desktop using the following 
code:-

var file:File = File.desktopDirectory.resolvePath("abcnews_small.jpg");

This creates the abcnews_small.jpg file on the desktop and overwrites it if it 
already exists there. However what I want is for my app to overwrite jpgs that 
I've already embedded IN the app but I'm struggling to figure out how to do 
this. My jpgs are all stored in the src folder under assets/images/ so for 
example my project is called liveimage and the location in which my 
abcnews_small jpg is located is liveimage/src/assets/images/abcnews_small.jpg 
and it's embeddded in the app like this:-

[Bindable]
[Embed(source="assets/images/abcnews_small.png")]
public var abcnewspicture:Class;    

So if I can set up the following line of code so that it saves the new jpg in 
the above location that'd be perfect. I've tried the following but it doesn't 
work:-

var file:File = 
File.applicationStorageDirectory.resolvePath("abcnews_small.jpg");

If anyone can help me out on this I'd be grateful. Thanks.
