Long ago in a sandbox far-far-away there lived an undocumented function in Flash called “Save”.  For those that knew about it, it was a great way to get data out of Flash and into a text file on the users machine.  It came in very handy in many cases.  I even used it to record the results of my final exam while teaching Flash at SLCC.  The final exam was done in the form of “Who wants to be a Millionaire” and the results were spit out in a nice little text file that the students had no idea about.  It was very handy.

Soooooo…..

I have been watching the Flash 10 videos with Justin Everrett-Church and right near the end of the Pixel Bender video Justin says “I can go down here and hit save….”  Did Adobe jump out of the sandbox and open up the long time missing “Save” functionality that we haven’t seen since the Flash 5 days?  OR is this just an AIR app?  Please tell me that this is opened up again because it gives so many possibilities.

Please post here if you have any info.  Adobe, Justin Everrett-Church, Anyone….
