That is what File.applicationStorageDirectory is for.

You can save whatever data you want to the file (XML, JSON, AMF, sqlite database), and you can save asynchronously to avoid UI hangs.

Example saving string data (such as serialized XML or JSON):

function save(data:String):void {
    var file:File = File.applicationStorageDirectory.resolvePath("preferences.data");
    var fileStream:FileStream = new FileStream();
    fileStream.open(file, FileMode.WRITE); // or openAsync()
    fileStream.writeUTFBytes(data);
    fileStream.close();
}

function load():String {
    var file:File = File.applicationStorageDirectory.resolvePath("preferences.data");
    var fileStream:FileStream = new FileStream();
    fileStream.open(file, FileMode.READ);
    var data:String = fileStream.readUTFBytes(fileStream.bytesAvailable);
    fileStream.close();
    return data;
}
