My need was to capture data (text data) from flash in a web page. The data is always changing (wheather data) and this should be exported do a text file so i could manipulate this data.
I tried do this with and my first approach was using a websniffer like fiddler or wireshark. I used that but could't get data from both because it is embedded in flash. I used fidler as man-in-midle with wireshark deciphering the data (with the private key from the site cer) but it didn't worked.
After that i tried using flashfirebug pro (the pro allows to run as3 comands in the console). This addon loads the dom tree and refreshes it. After selecting in the page the desired element with inspector (it shows in the left panel the instance and position in the dom) i have acess to the instance properties (and the only one needed is the "html-text" in the right panel).
My problem with this last approach was that it could not communicate with the local file system (if i make "trace(this.text);" in the console it shows the text value but it just shows in the console). The only way to communicate to the file in the hard drive, that i could think of was to throw some error to the log file but could't do that also.
Does anyone have any idea to work with flashfirebug or have some other approach to do this.
Regards,
