We've built a Flex app to read XML data from an HTTPService, and display the data as a report (a table or some sort of chart) to the user. From within the app, the user can email the report to someone, (we use the method of converting the Flex components to an image, and then building an HTML file with the images embedded, and sending the user an HTML email).
The problem we've come up against is how to automate and email such reports (like on a nightly basis). With automation, there won't be a 'client-side' or browser to load the Flex app into to generate the tables/graphs. Is there a solution for this, or essentially, a way to run a Flash/Flex app without involving a user/browser? Any command-line Flex interpreters, or anything in PHP or another server-side language that can 'trigger' a Flex app? Thanks.
