Hello-
I have a need to call an external perl script from within flash.

I am using CFMX CFC's to get my data for this project. But, we have a perl
script that interacts with our system to physically turn on/off the system.

Currently, I am calling that with a normal GetURL action within my flash
swf. Problem is that it opens up a new browser window. I was wondering if
I could call this perl script (page) and have it transparent to the user
like a CFC does?
TIA,
Anthony

I found this:
AMF:Perl
http://www.simonf.com/flap/

Has anyone used this? Can I use this in conjunction with Macromedia's FR or
will it conflict?

Do I even need this? The clientside code (actionscript) looks identical to
MM's FR so, can I just call a perl script by using
"http://www.blah.com/perl.pl"?
