Topic: I am wondering

Hi
I am new to both flash and script,
But I am wondering whether I could call a script(pre-installed on a stock Chumby distribution or written by myself using perl) from flash.
Imagine that I develop a flash widget and there is a button, when the button is pressed, a specific script is called to finish some certain task, for example download a photo from some server into the local Chumby or into the USB stick connected to the Chumby.
Would there anyone tell me if this is possible, and how to do if possible?
Thank you so much!

Well you can definitely install Perl, however it seems to me that the biggest obstacle is executing shell commands through Flash/AS.

The easiest way to do this is set up your script as a CGI for the built-in web server, then use HTTP to invoke the script.
