hrm, i don't really know but i highly doubt it. flash runs in a protected environment, which, in theory, doesn't allow you any access to the local machine whatsoever. allowing you to write files to the local machine would be very exploitable b/c you could just overwrite some of the windows executables & hose the local machine.
