[flexcoders] Finding a file on a shared drive using AIR File

[Wally Kolcz]

I have a small program I am building for work that looks to see if a 
file is put on a shared network drive and if it exists, do something 
with it.

While looking through the AIR notes I see you can set a literal path to 
the file. var fl = new File(S:\shared\folder\filename.txt);

I tried this an it comes up and not existing even though I am looking 
right at it. I also tried something on my C:\ drive and it didnt work 
either. Any ideas on how to make this work?

Found it:

Add to nativePath and added the double slashes '\\'
