I am a newbie to Flash programming and would like to know whether the possibilities of Flash / Air applications are enough for my task.
I need a way to access (change/modify/delete) user files and folders from an application hosted on a remote site. Typical usage scenario would be the following: user enters some html page, application asks for user permission to access his file system and makes some changes.
Is Flash good for this ? -- does regular Flash embedded in html has access to a user file system ? -- what about AIR application ?
Is there an other way to solve my problem other than using Java applets?
