Flash does not have the ability to save files without user interaction. In a kiosk, I assume you want to save data without having the user have access to the file system. So you will need to use another technology to do this> The most obvious is Adobe AIR, which gives flash all of the powers and permsiions of a desktop application. There are also commercial solutions for creating enhanced projectors (Such as Zinc, and ScreenTime) but I cannot think of a use case for them other than as screensavers, since AIR has been introduced. In air you will be able to save files, or use an SQLite databse.

The code for saving a file using AIR looks something like this:

import flash.filesystem.*;  
import flash.events.Event;  

function saveFile():void {  
    var file:File=File.desktopDirectory;  
    file=file.resolvePath("test.txt");  
    var fileStream:FileStream = new FileStream();  
    fileStream.open(file, FileMode.WRITE);  
    fileStream.writeUTFBytes("Hi this file was saved from AIR application without dialog");  
    fileStream.addEventListener(Event.CLOSE, fileClosed);  
    fileStream.close();  


function fileClosed(event:Event):void {  
    trace("closed event fired");  
}  
}  
saveFile();

Well that depends on whether you are using AIR or Flash projector, or the Flash plugin. If you're using AIR, and need to be a little bit more verbose, then I would recommend that you store the XML with the SQLite bindings.. In all other cases, I would recommend using a SharedObject.
