I wonder if the Flash app can use a pipe? I know some applications on Windows use pipes, so it's possible...
For those who don't know, a program works with a pipe similar to the way it works with a file, except there's no file. This would be a perfect application for a pipe. Basically, the program reading the serial port could write the data stream to the pipe, and the Flash program could read the data from the pipe. This is what I think you're trying to do now, except it eliminates the disk from the equation, and solves the file locking issues that rbayer was talking about.
Speaking of that, I know on Unix two programs can have the same file open simultaneously, as long as only 1 is writing to the file. Can this be done on Windows? I've never tried it there.
