In order to save the image file to disk, you need to use the AIR File API, which is available only to AIR applications.
You can capture the image, encode it as PNG or JPEG using mx.graphics.codec.JPEGEncoder or mx.graphics.codec.PNGEncoder, then upload the resulting byte to a server. Then your server application can save the file to disk on the server.
