Are there examples on how to do this?
I.e. how to configure the gnash build, how to run gnash and how the AS
looks like.



I have taken the approach of using lighttpd and have it talk XML
across a FastCGI connection.

In AS, I can then do:

xml.send()
xml.sendAndLoad()

which basically talks with a C program that uses the fastcgi library
using XMLRPC.

This runs on a small embedded Linux platform.
