Modifying files from Flash: Is it possible?

Hi, I am making a projector image gallery with Flash 8 that loads from an XML file. This is part of the interface of a device that takes a lot of photos according to user commands; the Flash part allows the user to view the images he or she has taken in various formats.

What I would really like to do is give the user the ability to delete unwanted images after inspection in the Flash interface. Is there any way to do this in Flash? The images taken are automatically stored in a folder, and referenced by an XML which is read by the Flash projector. While viewing the images in the Flash projector, I would like the user to be able to select unwanted images and delete them… this means that they would be deleted from the folder they were stored in, and the XML reference would be deleted as well.

Is this possible? Is there some supplemental program that would make it possible?

The images are taken using a program that runs with VB. If I used flash to record images that the user wanted to delete (You can record what gets clicked on, right?) then could I somehow get this list of images into a format that VB could read?

Thanks for your advice.
