Table of contents for air-tip
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
