Question

Hi to all stackoverflowers.

I’ve build a HTML5/jQuery application and I’ve incorporeted it in Adobe AIR.

I’m wondering if and how is it possible to tell AIR to open a filesystem folder window after clicking on a link in the HTML/jQuery application, something like

$('#button').click(function() {
   var path = "my/path/"
   openFolder(path);
});

I hope I was clear.

Any suggest will be strongly apreciated.

Thank you very much in advance.

Include AIRAliases.js from the air SDK

<script src="AIRAliases.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

and then use the following functions.

   function openFolder(path) {
        var file, loader, urlReq;
        file = air.file.resolvePath(path);
        file.addEventListener(air.Event.SELECT, function (e) {
            loader = new air.Loader();
            urlReq = new air.URLRequest(file.url);
            loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(air.Event.COMPLETE, onFileLoad);
            loader.load(urlReq);
        });
        file.browseForOpen("Open");
    }

    function onFileLoad(e) {
        //Do something
    }
