Perl

[simplitia]

Dear all:

What I really really want is to use flash as my frontend UI and Perl as my scripting language. I have'nt really looked at FFish yet, but I would rather prefer to stick to something I am familiar with (besides perl has a lot of modules I can use!)

So I guess the questions, would it be possible to draw a button, for example, and allow it to envoke a perl script directly.

If not, I suppose I can access via shell or even ActiveX -- but would'nt that really slow down the program -- not to mention making it buggier?

your help is appreciated.
thanks in advance.

Hi,

You should launch the perl interpreter to call perl scripts in SWFKit.

Shell.run("perl c:\\1.pl");

SWFKit doesn't support ActiveX Scripting. Unless you can implement an ActiveX Scripting Host in an ActiveX object to make SWFKit call perl scripts via it, it's very hard to run perl scripts in a more elegant way.
