Currently, "Flex" lives on the server, perhaps during authoring, but I suspect you're asking about how the Macromedia Flash Player, when it plays within a browser, can access the local hard drive. This might be possible, depending on where the SWF is at the time, what types of permissions you set, etc. Much more info is in the total Player security overview: http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/flash/articles/fplayer8_security.html Generally, the easiest way is if all your data comes from the same place -- if you're only accessing through one of the four sandboxes -- but there are ways to handle various types of inter-machine communication securely, too.

I haven't seen any announcements about Central, particularly since the alpha Flex 2.0 announcements were made. You may have noticed the recent talk about the Apollo project, scant as the current data is. Here's an overview of what we know so far: http://weblogs.macromedia.com/jd/archives/2005/12/cahill_on_apoll.cfm jd -- John Dowdell . Adobe Developer Support .
