Local Path for Mobile

[Ralph DiMola]

File in the stack are in "the engine folder" and it's sub folders. This is read only.

You can store files in "the documents folder".

Check the docs for other folder options. 

I have a function "TheEngineFolder" that returns the engine folder on mobile and the location of the included assets when in the IDE. This allows testing using the same code.

Is this good for mobile also?

function localPath
    put the effective filename of this stack into tPath
    set the itemdel to "/"
    delete item -1 of tPath
    put "/" after tPath
    return tPath
end localPath

where we need to reference images, icons, text files and other data..

we can fetch things  with

set the defaultfolder to (localPath() &"img/icons")
put the files
