You cannot "open" local files in Flex, since the app is running inside the browser sandbox. With AIR however you can.
As for the later, not sure if and when they will add that capability to AIR, there is no concrete information yet.

My clients want "save" also. Is there any hope for the future that this will be supported? This, along with the ability to invoke the default file editor for file types in AIR, would be two very much needed and wanted capabilities. Anyone know anything about this?
