Mainly I want to pull out item categories, sub-cats, and body content, and
related images (URLs of them).

I thnk the structure could be defined in advnace, eg categories can only go
X layers deep...

promoting articles to the front page, ratings, other features the CMS-back
end provides, hopefully could be accessed.

I expect to produce some server-side PHP to work as an "adapter" that flash
would talk to.
Tho doing everything straight from flash clientside to call the blog APIs
directly i guess this would be possible with XML-RPC APIs that some blog
tools have. (tho my drupal install recently got hacked due to this).

tx,
