Using AIR FileSystem in Widget Crashes Published SWF Only

Hi everyone,

I'm working on a way to get a file saved locally to track user variables on a Captivate file that is exececuted from the harddrive of the same system. I created a function in my custom question widget as follows:

function sendAnswerToText() {    // create the file    var directoryID:String = cpVariables.userID;    var sessionNumber:String = cpVariables.sessionNumber;    var questionRound:String = cpVariables.questionRound;    var timeDate:Date = new Date;    var timeStamp:String = timeDate.fullYear + "." + timeDate.month + "." + timeDate.date + "_" + sessionNumber;    var file:File = File.desktopDirectory;     file = file.resolvePath("Results/" + directoryID + "/" + directoryID + "_" + timeStamp + ".txt");     // create a stream to write and open in APPEND mode    var stream:FileStream = new FileStream();     stream.open(file, FileMode.APPEND);     // add a new line to the text file    var questionID:String = cpVariables.cpInfoCurrentSlide;    var questionAnswer:String = properties.answerGridBox + " " + properties.answerCategory;    stream.writeUTFBytes((questionRound + "." + questionID + "," + questionAnswer + "," + answerBox + " " + answerCat + "," + resultStatus + "," + slideStart + "," + slideEnd + "\n" ));    stream.close();} 

This is working perfectly when I preview the  project from within Captivate. However when I publish the captivate file in any format (tried .swf, .exe, .app) the file crashes when the function is called. Any idea why?

Using: Captivate 6.1.0.319 and Flash CS6 publishing AIR 3.4 (to publish the question widget .swf)

Thanks.
