Hi, all. I'd appreciate any suggestions on how to implement the following use case:
(1) a swf running in a browser on the client-side sends simple numeric data to a server-side script. (2) the server-side script calls a second swf located on the same server as the script, passing it the numeric data. (3) this swf uses the data to generate a layout in flash that is rendered to an image and either (a) returned directly as binary data to the server-side script or (b) saved locally on the server so that the server-side script can access it. It's steps 2 and 3 that have me stumped. How can I call a swf without a browser, and by extension, without the Flash Player? Is there some way to call a swf directly as an executable that can return output to the calling process? Thanks much! LT
