Check for SWF / AIR

[Gcs_dev]

Is there any way for a class to check if it is part of an AIR application or a standard SWF? For example, to know whether or to use File as opposed to FileReference.

You should be able to check flash.system.Capabilities.playerType -- I believe it will be "Desktop" for AIR apps.

Mike's suggestion seems to be a good one based on the docs. As an alternative, in the past I think I have also used system.Security.sandboxType:

http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/system/Security.html#sandboxType

if this value is "application" then it's AIR.

Excellent. Thank you both for your help. I'm going to try both solutions.
