  Yes, but I've been refactoring that part of Cygnal for the last few 
days in a branch. The new way supports server side scripting as a 
dynamically loaded plugin, so one can build a plugin out of the Gnash 
source tree for Cygnal. Along with that technique, Cygnal also supports 
remote server side scripting and can use a network connection to funnel 
data to and from the server script support. This also lets Cygnal talk 
to Cygnal, one working as the backend for the other.

  This is all reasonably complex, you might find IRC (#gnash @ 
freenode) is better for some of this than email. The cool part of the 
new code is that the data is now independent of the transport protocol, 
so it's possible to exchange data between HTTP and RTMP based connections.

  That works now, with both RTMPT (HTTP) and RTMP. I took the Red5 echo 
test and converted it to Ming syntax. This sends a variety of complex 
AMF data types, including nested objects, Custom Classes, etc...
