Question About SWF Shockwave Flash and Text-Document Output

[FrankoSport]

Greetings ....

Are Shockwave Flash Programs (SWF file format) capable of generating output to a text or other type document file?

I am not a Flash programmer, and my first guess is no.

My preliminary guess would be that, as a security precaution, Flash wouldn't let you interact with files on an end user's hard drive. I seem to recall that there's an option to set a certain Flash file as "Trusted", but this requires a relative lot of user intervention.
