If you want to talk to the hdfs from flash, your best bet is probably to set up a java server and talk to it over http. There's a webdav server patch here: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-496 (I worked on this a while, but never finished it). I think some other people have written their own servers.
