AirTip: List all of your drives in AIR application
Thursday, August 28th, 2008
This is quick Air Tip: If you need get list of all of your drives in code, just use
var list:Array = File.getRootDirectories();
It list all of y our hard drives with CD ROM drives. But if CD is inserted in CD ROM drive, it will be listed as well. I don’t find way how to find out if drive is CD ROM drive, you can just search for files on that inserted CD.
If there is a way how to find out, if drive is CD ROM drive, let us know

I run into this problem of detecting a CD drive just a little ago and there really is no “normal” way to detect it but i found a little trick that will do the job. Its simple i try to create a file on each of the root directories and then delete em, if this creation fails i am assuming its a CD drive (or a drive that is disabled for writing in other way) it proved really usefull
