custom browseForOpen path

[xwielder]

I have tried the following two (2) methods to get browseForOpen to open to a custom directory, but I just can't seem to get it to work. It's always opening to the logged in user's desktop directory. Is this something that's not allowed yet by Adobe, or am I just not coding it right?

Nope:

var OpenExFILE:File = new File();
function browseForExFile (event:Event):void
{
    var testString:String = "C:\Documents and Settings\user\My Documents\test_folder";
    OpenExFILE = OpenExFILE.resolvePath(testString);    
    var xmlFilter:FileFilter = new FileFilter("XML (*.xml)", "*.xml");
    OpenExFILE.browseForOpen ("Open existing saved game file...", [xmlFilter]);
    OpenExFILE.addEventListener (Event.SELECT, exFileSelected);
}

Nope:

var OpenExFILE:File = new File("C:\Documents and Settings\user\My Documents\test_folder");
function browseForExFile (event:Event):void
{
    var myFileString:String = (OpenExFILE.nativePath);
    OpenExFILE = OpenExFILE.resolvePath(myFileString);
    var xmlFilter:FileFilter = new FileFilter("XML (*.xml)", "*.xml");
    OpenExFILE.browseForOpen ("Open existing saved game file...", [xmlFilter]);
    OpenExFILE.addEventListener (Event.SELECT, exFileSelected);
}

Got it.

var OpenExFILE:File = new File();
function browseForExFile (event:Event):void
{
     var testString:String = "C:\\Documents and Settings\\user\\My Documents\\test_folder";
     OpenExFILE = OpenExFILE.resolvePath(testString);
     var xmlFilter:FileFilter = new FileFilter("XML (*.xml)", "*.xml");
     OpenExFILE.browseForOpen ("Open existing saved game file...", [xmlFilter]);
     OpenExFILE.addEventListener (Event.SELECT, exFileSelected);
}
