Find name of app - actionscript-3

Question

FlashBuilder Flex
In my reboot code, I have the following line:
var file:File = File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath("app:/playerAir.exe");
It works as long as the app's name doesn't change
I want an automated way to find this app's name to change that "playerAir".
The reasons:
If I change the name, I have to change it in the reboot function too
If a client has more than one versions of the file (playerAir.exe, playerAir1.exe, playerAir2.exe) then it'll launch the wrong one.
How could I make it so it changes accordingly to the name the app has?

The code of the reboot function is as follows:
public function Reboot():void ///
{ ///
var nativeProcessStartupInfo:NativeProcessStartupInfo = new NativeProcessStartupInfo(); ///
var app:WindowedApplication=WindowedApplication(FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication); ///
var swf:String=stage.loaderInfo.url.substring(0,stage.loaderInfo.url.lastIndexOf("/")+1); ///get swf's path (- *name*.swf)
swf=swf+app.applicationID; ///adds applicationID after the path. ex: app:/ -> becomes -> app:/m7tvPlayerAir
var d:Array = File.applicationDirectory.getDirectoryListing(); ///get all files in the directory
var exe:String; ///the executable (.exe, .app, .dmg) (multiplatform)
for each(var f:File in d){ ///checks all files in the directory
if(f.url.indexOf(swf)==0 && (f.url.indexOf(".dmg") > -1 || f.url.indexOf(".app") > -1 || f.url.indexOf(".exe") > -1)){///if any of them has the same directory and name, and has 1 of the extensions
exe=f.url; ///found the executable
break; ///stops the loop
}///end If
}///end for
trace(exe); ///
if(exe==null){ ///will just close the application if it doesn't find the file
(FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication).exit(); ///
}else{ ///if it did find a file
var file:File = File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath(exe); ///
nativeProcessStartupInfo.executable = file; ///
nativeProcessStartupInfo.workingDirectory = File.documentsDirectory; ///
var process:NativeProcess = new NativeProcess(); ///
(FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication).exit(); ///
process.start(nativeProcessStartupInfo); ///
}///end else
}///end function

You should be able to determine the application name with the url property of the stage's loaderinfo object.
This will point to the swf file being run, which by default will be the same name as the executable.
So, if you know your app has an extension of .exe, this would likely work:
var path:String = stage.loaderInfo.url.replace(".swf",".exe");
var file:File = File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath(path);
If you are running a multi-platform app, you could walk the application directory looking for the appropriate application extension:
//get the swf path minus the 'swf'
var swf:String = stage.loaderInfo.url.substring(0,stage.loaderInfo.url.lastIndexOf(".") + 1);
//get all the files in the application directory
var d = File.applicationDirectory.getDirectoryListing();
//find your executable (this is just a sample of how to do this, ideally you'd have a compile time constant to indicate the extension of your current build)
var exe:String;
for each(var f:File in d){
if(f.url.indexOf(swf) === 0 && (f.url.indexOf(".dmg") > -1 || f.url.indexOf(".app") > -1 || f.url.indexOf(".exe") > -1)){
exe = f.url; //found the executable path
break; //stop the loop
}
}
