Alex, I would also like to "write" to the clipboard. It might also be useful to save information on the hard drive to be used next time the app starts.
I just discovered the SharedObject...maybe this will give me what I am looking for...I didn't know that it existed. This functionality may be something to consider for the future of Flash apps...allow Flash apps to be "trusted" so that they can have the same capabilities available to the new AIR apps...I don't think that my customer base is ready for AIR yet, but if the app can live inside of the web browser and load just like a web page, that would be perfect. Thanks!
