Thanks Om.
This is valuable information. I suspect it will become a reference for other
users with similar challenges in the future.
Thanks again,
Lane.

Subject: Re: Access mp3 files in iOS
Using Adobe AIR's File class would be the best option for this. This
would
ensure that the app works correctly in a cross-platform way.
Here are all the locations you can access on iOS:
iOS
Application
/var/mobile/Applications/uid/filename.app
Application-storage
/var/mobile/Applications/uid/Library/Application
Support/applicationID/Local Store
Cache
/var/mobile/Applications/uid/Library/Caches
Desktop
not accessible
Documents
/var/mobile/Applications/uid/Documents
Temporary
/private/var/mobile/Applications/uid/tmp/FlashTmpNNN
User
not accessible
In your case, using File.applicationStorageDirectory
or File.documentsDirectory seems most appropriate.
There is a detailed reference here:

Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Om

In Android, a file myFile in directory myDirec on device storage is

The files have been placed onto the device by the user previously,
usually
through a USB connection.
What is the best practice method for placing a directory with mp3 files,
xml files and images into local Apple iOS device storage and then
accessing
the storage on a permanent basis later on from a Flex app, similar to
what
I am doing with Android? Payment is not an issue. I am concerned only
with
the convenience of internal storage as opposed to reliance on the
Internet.
Specifically, what is the best location to place the files? What is the
optimal way to load the files initially? What is the best way for Flex to
access the files?
Thanks in advance,
Lane.
