If you're using AIR, stage.loaderInfo.url will return app:/[SWF name].swf. Combine that with File.applicationDirectory.nativePath and voila.
Update: For in-browser app, Application.application.url or stage.loaderInfo.url should be enough (full url with params (not flashvars, url params if any - ...swf?param1=1.))

+1 I believe this would work for Flash Player apps as well. Not sure about the use of "stage" though, maybe in Flash. – JD Isaacks Nov 19 '10 at 14:03

I was not referring to the File part, I was referring to the loaderInfo.url part. – JD Isaacks Nov 19 '10 at 14:27

If you are using Flex the root class Application for Flash Player and WindowedApplication for AIR.
Has a url property which returns:
The URL from which this Application's SWF file was loaded.

In AIR that url will be app:/[SWF name].swf since it starts from app location. – alxx Nov 19 '10 at 14:18
