Hi,

I’m trying to solve a problem where I have a nice Flash button and when  
a user presses that button I need an Ajax request to be sent to the  
server in order to process some RJS code. I’ve tried googling, but  
cannot find any solution to my problem. I am using ActionScript3 to do  
URL handling logic of my Flash button.

Has anyone done anything similar? Am I thinking about this the wrong  
way? Can Flash even call Ajax like requests?

You’d be better off asking this on a Flash list.
