Determine at runtime if the application is running on mobile

Hello,

I'd like to know at runtime, if the current application is running in 
web mode (in browser) or as mobile app.
Is there some kind of property that I can use?

I have looked at Capabilities class, but I'm not sure it helps. I see 
that there is a "playerType" setting, but it doesn't seem to 
differentiate AIR from AIR on mobile.

Thanks in advance,
Cristian.

I will use this as well.

This is my mobile/web check:

var playerType:String = Capabilities.playerType.toUpperCase();
var version:String = Capabilities.version.substr(0, 3).toUpperCase();

isMobile = (playerType=="DESKTOP" && (version=="IOS" || version=="AND" 
|| version=="QNX"));
isWeb = (playerType=="ACTIVEX" || playerType=="PLUGIN");

Not necessarily the most efficient, but it works.
