AIR will give you read/write access to file system directly. However, you can NOT trigger system calls / apps, at this time (v1). Then again, AIR is still a beta product, and the final release will be a 1.0, so it may not be the most stable production platform, for a while. I hope I'm wrong, but that's the nature of the beast.
