File.exist always false

Shaun_Max The app installation directory varies per OS, so I can't reliably say where it's. Anyway, if you want to include the file within your AIR app, when bundling it with adt you need to pass the files.

I recommend you to use AS&MXML by Josh in VSCode to package/bundle the app (not sure if you already know it). Here's the documentation for asconfig.json: https://github.com/BowlerHatLLC/vscode-as3mxml/wiki/asconfig.json

Here's how to include files:

If you're not familiar to asconfig from AS&MXML, here's a template: https://github.com/hydroper/adobe-air-templates/tree/master/empty-app

hydroper i am using IntelliJ, we have a separate window to list the files & folders to be included along with the build.

To clarify that's the airOptions you want:

"airOptions": {
	"files": [
		{
			"file": "ext_assets/assets.zip",
			"path": "ext_assets/assets.zip"
		}
	]
}

I updated my post above to link to a asconfig template.

Shaun_Max I see, I never used that one.

hydroper This is how its done in IntelliJ IDEA

Also, is this an AIR sdk issue ?

Notice the . period.

Shaun_Max

TeotiGraphix yes! Is it because it's inside the source folder?

BTW, i got a response from Andrew and I am still pondering at it:

TeotiGraphix

Shaun_Max Yes. ;-)

Using the dot for targetr dir will need this to access:

private static var extAsset:File = File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath("assets.zip");

Shaun_Max

TeotiGraphix was this like that from the beginning or it changed recently?

Shaun_Max Well, the last 10 years(since the fall of Flash) I have gone through different IDEs but using IDEA for the last while, I have always done this.

Funny though, I had this same problem when I started using IDEA again, maybe it was me or some mistake but this works always for my stuff. 🙂
