How do I get the fullname of a file in Adobe AIR?

Question

I'm using something like this to browse for a file in AIR. I can get the filename, but what I need is the fullname of the file. Is there a way to do that?

var file:FileReference = new FileReference(); 
file.addEventListener(Event.SELECT, selectHandler); 
file.browse();

private function selectHandler(e:Event):void{ 
file.removeEventListener(Event.SELECT, selectHandler); 
var name = file.name; 
}

I am not sure if FileReference can give you the absolute path of the file you selected. So I suggest you to use nativePath property of the File rather than FileReference.

var file:File = File.userDirectory;
file.addEventListener(Event.SELECT, selectHandler);
file.browse();

private function selectHandler(e:Event):void{
file.removeEventListener(Event.SELECT, selectHandler);
var filePath:String= file.nativePath;
}
