This blog will chronicle my attempts to integrate Flash content into Drupal. Although word has it that support for Flash is best achieved via the Services module, my efforts are focused on what can be accomplished securely without Services and without AS3/Flex.
At first, my progress was slow and painful, but recently I've experienced several very satisfying breakthroughs. I can now call php functions (taking advantages of module APIs) directly from Flash, so long as those functions are exposed in the modules hook_menu, and so long as javascript is enabled. I can also snatch data from drupal into Flash, so long as the data is part of the node. This can be done without a database query if the field containing the data is made visible in the node, but it is easy to style away the visibility of data you wish to be hidden from obvious view.
I will be detailing my methods in the days to come.
