My approach would be to have some PHP classes server side that talked to the
CMS DB to pull out whats required. then package as XML to return to flash.
so flash wouldnt have to talk directly to drupal (which can only return html
basically).
I guess this ends up being an XML adapter for drupal, which seems like a big
project in general but might not be too bad for just say pulling out
categories or news items in a set category.

however nice the code is once you really get into it, drupal seems like a
lot of work to pull info from, whereas wordpress seemed to have nicely
document + simple database classes.

if you have any docs, it would be nice to see.
