Hi,
I think I have a basic handle on how to use
LWP::UserAgent and LWP::Simple; I hope
that I can figure out how to use SWF::Parse.

The problem I'm facing at the moment is that
the SWF information that I'm trying to get at is
"hidden" inside some magic JS incantation rather
than an <embed> or plain <href>.

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
if(version==6){
  drawFlashVersioned("770","525","base6.swf","base","storeFront=NZ&ses
+sionId=z3k4-p0wnjLK4wIhd7n-Cw1&","6,0,0,0");
} else {
  drawFlashVersioned("770","525","base6.swf","base","storeFront=NZ&ses
+sionId=z3k4-p0wnjLK4wIhd7n-Cw1&","7,0,0,0");
}
//-->
</script>

[download]


Any ideas how I might get to the SWF for processing?
The actual URL is
http://flightbookings.airnewzealand.co.nz/vgrabview/
and I'd like to write a script that alerts me when
something interesting comes up :}



Cheers, Tink
