We need to run both as a stand-alone app and a web based app...

In the stand-alone (no internet connection or local server) and, we need to
be able to read and write to the local disk and probably to a data base...

While I think you can do it with Flash... I'm not sure that is the tool of
choice for standalone apps that are reading and writing data to the local
hard disk.

Can be done, I understand, but Java much more flexable.
