Andrew,
Thanks for your interest. It is possible to run a flash application on either
Red Flag's MIDINUX or Ubuntu's Mobile and Embedded distribution, both of which
are targeted toward Intel MID hardware.
For ongoing help I recommend you join us at one of the following:
IRC:
irc.freenode.org, channel #moblin

I added a few answers to the things I know below.

I would recommend a simple stand-alone GTK app that uses a GtkMozEmbed plugin
to render the Flash content. I've written this for demos if you are
interested. Alternatively you could put together a similar application using
something like WebKit. I've not done this to date.
Adobe has announced AIR which would allow you to run Flash outside the browser
environment, but it is not available for Linux yet.

I think if you put the correct Flash security file on the system during install
of your application that you'll be able to access local resources.
