In that case you are talking about AIR, though, which is a different beast from the Flash Player in terms of sandbox limitations. Within the browser player you have limitations on how much data you can store in a shared object before it prompts the user ( if I recall correctly it is 100kb) to ask if it can use more. The ideal user experience would be that it happens completely transparently to the user. In essence, it "just works".
