There are 3 ways to save file from Flash :

In AIR : use File class , You can manipulate files without user intervention .

In FlashPlayer : you can use FileReference class but for this user much choose in browse window where to save data

or You can use some proxy application and connect it via socket or local connection .

Sir, If i use AIR , i am unable to write by running the swf. This error pops up. VerifyError: Error #1014: Class flash.filesystem::File could not be found. Is there a way to solve this?

You cannot run single SWF and use this class , You have to compile AIR application file . Single SWF cannot execute native classes from AIR .

FlashDevelop includes a Run.bat which runs the swf in the AIR player giving it required AIR privileges like file access, w/o the install process.
