Getting the user name and computer name

Question

I've been trying to find out how to do this, but can't seem to get it.
I have an AIR application that needs to get the user's login name, and computer name for verification.  I can't find anywhere to do this.  Is AIR able to get this information? Is there work arounds if there isn't?
It won't ever be a web app, just an AIR app.

Answer 1

What I did in Air 2 to accomplish that is the following:
               public function getHostName():void {
                    if(NativeProcess.isSupported) {
                         var OS:String = Capabilities.os.toLocaleLowerCase();
                         var file:File;
                         if (OS.indexOf('win') > -1) {
                              //Executable in windows
                              file = new File('C:\\Windows\\System32\\hostname.exe');
                         } else if (OS.indexOf('mac') > -1 ) {
                              //Executable in mac
                         } else if (OS.indexOf('linux')) {
                              //Executable in linux
                         var nativeProcessStartupInfo:NativeProcessStartupInfo = new NativeProcessStartupInfo();
                         nativeProcessStartupInfo.executable = file;
                         var process:NativeProcess = new NativeProcess();
                              process.addEventListener(NativeProcessExitEvent.EXIT, onExitError);
                              process.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.STANDARD_OUTPUT_DATA, onOutput);
                              process.start(nativeProcessStartupInfo);
                              process.closeInput();
               import utls.StringHelper;
               public function onOutput(event:ProgressEvent):void {
                    var strHelper:StringHelper = new StringHelper();
                    var output:String = event.target.standardOutput.readUTFBytes(event.target.standardOutput.bytesAvailable);
                         output = strHelper.trimBack(output, "\n");
                         output = strHelper.trimBack(output, "\r");
                    trace('"'+output+'"');
The package that I used is from the manual:
package utls
     public class StringHelper
          public function StringHelper()
          public function replace(str:String, oldSubStr:String, newSubStr:String):String {
               return str.split(oldSubStr).join(newSubStr);
          public function trim(str:String, char:String):String {
               return trimBack(trimFront(str, char), char);
          public function trimFront(str:String, char:String):String {
               char = stringToCharacter(char);
               if (str.charAt(0) == char) {
                    str = trimFront(str.substring(1), char);
               return str;
          public function trimBack(str:String, char:String):String {
               char = stringToCharacter(char);
               if (str.charAt(str.length - 1) == char) {
                    str = trimBack(str.substring(0, str.length - 1), char);
               return str;
          public function stringToCharacter(str:String):String {
               if (str.length == 1) {
                    return str;
               return str.slice(0, 1);
And sorry for the miss topic I just realized that it is on flex topic, but I post it either way it may be useful for anyone
