Flash and Local Files
I know this is seems lazy, but I am short on time - someone's gonna get an easy 500 points for urgency.
I have looked over the Flash livedocs, and think I now the answer to this already - YES.
But here goes - I don't even need to know how, although a point in the right direction would be great.
I'm fairly new to flash. Can a locally deployed Flash App, access local and network files, and how difficult is this. I'm pretty sure the answer is YES, but i don't want lots of prompts. I think I can set a config file or something globally to allow this at development time.
Basically what I want to be able to do is use create printable forms that use some database info and local pictures. I don't want to have to upload pics to the server to create the forms.
I'm also assumming that I will not be able to use coldfusion/flashpaper/pdf to create this with local pictures, but is that possible? If not, I will just use printjobs to create printable screens.
Thanks in advance.

The answer is yes, but only with Flash 8!
