AIR is another publishing method available in Flash and because it creates an executable that removes many of the Flash player's security restrictions. Prior to Flash CC you could also create a Mac or Windows projector that would save a file.
I think most methods still require user interaction, but its usually not that hard to scare up some sort of user interaction to trigger the saving. The user doesn't necessarily need to choose the save location each time, just the save process needs to be triggered by a user interaction.
