Not unless you want to run it in a browser. Shockwave won't let FileIO work.

Yeah, loks like an array all right. Director can handle those and, as
I mentioned, if you pass your array through the string keyword before
writing it to disk, it will translate nicely; if you then take the
read value off disk and pass it through the value keyword, it will be
turned back into a data list again.
Try this briefly in the message window:
myList = [1, 2, 3]
put myList
listString = string ( myList )
put listString
listAgain = value ( listString )
put listAgain
Note the way the ""s appear and disappear. :D
