Android app access to network file location

Hi all,

I'm developing a simple drawing program on Air for Android, and the brief is to save the generated files into a network shared directory.

The device itself (outside of the Air app) can access and write to the network location (currently my dev machine set up on a specific IP address) so I don't *think* it's a permission issue. The code is as follows:

The above code throws an error 2004.

My question is: can this work within Air for Android's security structure? Should I give up trying to write across the network and use .applicationStorageDirectory (not ideal as another app on a different machine has to read in the images created)? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!
