Write with AIR applications to the application resource directory

AIR applications are not permitted to write to the application resource directory. This seems to be a security feature and makes sense, because some systems would not allow to write into this directory at system level.

But for testing purposes you might hack this by using a single line of code:

// Writing into that file would fail
var yourFileInAppDir: File = File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath( "yourFile.xml" );
// This is the simple hack:
yourFileInAppDir = new File( yourFileInAppDir.nativePath );

But this only avoids a AIR security error! You must be sure to have write access to the directory!
