That's a valid reason to consider...
I will be thinking about the best route to go then. Thank you -

Think about where the thing actually lives. If you've got in-browser
SWF,
then you're asking a plugin to write to (presumably) a known location on
the hard drive, which is a safety risk. If you're running in a
standalone
then you've got to ask what your standalone shell can do... if it's in
the
Central shell you've got a different situation... you might even be
trying
to run a SWF on a server, can't be sure.
Generally, for "Does [some form] of SWF play write to disk?" the answer
would be "no". You may be able to achieve your goal, though, depending
on
exactly what it is.
