Macromedia Central was designed around "occasionally connected computing".
Things like DB queries would be refreshed when the computer was connected;
otherwise the cached data is used.
Check it out.

for me the problem with Flash is the lack of connectivity to a database.
Yes, I know you can connect via a webservice; however it would be nice if
it could interface with an offline database. I have been tempted several
times to learn flash, but everytime I think about the lack of database
support, I look the other way.
I know that it is very nice to think that all computers have internet
connectivity; unfortunately that's not the case for me.

Sure you can use Central to run Flash on the desktop, but you could also
just use the Flash Player.
I actually have some flash games downloaded to my desktop and they are
associated to the flash player so it doesn't even launch a browser.
Of course, Flash doesn't have the capability (I don't think) to make
socket connections. But maybe it will in the future.
