flex: creating a shortcut to another file/folder

Does anyone know of a method or strategy through which a shortcut can be created through Flex for the vario开发者_如何学JAVAus platforms? I've been examining the various flash.filesystem.File methods but did not notice anything that seemed noteworthy.

Thanks for the time and attention.

1. You won't be able to do it with Flex.
2. If you target AIR, there is this XXMKLINK program that allows you to create shortcuts from the command line. You can use the native process feature of AIR to leverage it.
