Hi,

I'm looking to do some development in flash 10, specifically for the new file api (reading/writing files on the user's local machine). What do I need to develop for flash 10, just Flash cs4?:

http://tryit.adobe.com/us/cs4/flash/c/?sdid=ETJMX&

or is there some other ide? All I'm really interested in doing is:

Make a small swf file which reads a file on the user's machine
I will host it in an html file
When file read is done, I just want to send its contents as a string to a javascript function for further processing.

Not sure if I can get away with the free adobe air thing for this? I need it to run in a webpage but I don't intend to do any more development outside of the above,

Thanks
