Is it possible to get file access with flash player runtime?

i'm trying to do a recording application with flash ( IE9, requirement ) - i'm wondering whether there is a possibility to get uninterrupted access to user's file system to save parts of a long recording ( more than 2 hours ) ( large parts 200 mb). So that when by mistake, he closes browser tab, his recording progress is not totally lost ?

Yes, this is possible. Sort of.

Because you're publishing for web, you're limited to the FileReference class, which can only save to the local filesystem by opening a save dialog box for the user.

However, you can cache the recording data with SharedObject without needing user intervention every time.

Note that the user will need to authorize storage once you try to cache data beyond the storage limit (default 100k). This is an improvement over FileReference as the user won't need to click something for every caching operation, but it still requires user intervention at least once to allow the process.
