This class provides the basic information used to start a process on the host operating system. It is constructed and passed to the start() method of a NativeProcess object.

Native process access is only available to AIR applications installed with native installers (applications in the extended desktop profile).

Property Detail
AIR-only 

arguments

property
arguments:Vector.<String>

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Runtime Versions: AIR 2

The command line arguments that will be passed to the process on startup.

Each string in the arguments Vector will be passed as a separate argument to the executable, regardless of what characters the string contains. In other words, there is an exact one-to-one correspondence; no re-interpretation occurs. AIR automatically escapes any characters in the string that need to be escaped (such as space characters).



Implementation
    public function get arguments():Vector.<String>
    public function set arguments(value:Vector.<String>):void
AIR-only 

executable

property 
executable:File

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Runtime Versions: AIR 2

The File object that references an executable on the host operating system. This should be the full path to the executable including any extension required.

Note: On Mac OS, to launch an executable within an application bundle, be sure to have the path of the File object include the full path the the executable (within the bundle), not just the path to the app file.



Implementation
    public function get executable():File
    public function set executable(value:File):void

Throws
ArgumentError — if the value specified is null, if it references a directory, or if it references a file that does not exist.
AIR-only 

workingDirectory

property 
workingDirectory:File

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Runtime Versions: AIR 2

The File object that references the initial working directory for the new native process. If assigned a value where isDirectory is false, an ArgumentError is thrown.



Implementation
    public function get workingDirectory():File
    public function set workingDirectory(value:File):void

Throws
ArgumentError — if the value doesn't exist or is not a directory
