Yes, this can be done with Flash 4.

You can sent messages to cgi using getURL.

A text file can be generated by your cgi/perl script.

Using Load VARIABLES you can retrieve the information from a text file.


Note, Generator and other dynamic generating programs can do many of

these things with Flash 3 content.
