Hi all

I was amazed by the support i have got from you all..for my first query..Thanx and its solved by your help..thanx for all monks who supported me..


Now i have another question.. unlike some html pages.. if you want to parse a page with embed flash on it then how to do that??? say a url be "https://video.cricinfo.tv/video_player.aspx?" then if you write below code then it was not worked since if you enter that page its completely flash player embed on it... so can any body help me to parse that page i.e get into that page ....

use WWW::Mechanize;
use LWP::Simple;
use HTTP::Cookies;

$url="https://video.cricinfo.tv/video_player.aspx";

$cookiefile = 'cookies.txt';
$cookie_jar = HTTP::Cookies->new(File => $cookiefile, autosave =>1);
$m = WWW::Mechanize->new( autocheck => 1 );
$m->cookie_jar($cookie_jar);

$m->get($url);

open(FD,">a.html");
print FD $m->content;
close(FD);

this gives the source code only but i can't parse only because it has something like
var so = new SWFObject("/espn360.swf", "mymovienameid", "1024", "730", "9", "#000000");"
and all so again i tried of the url
https://video.cricinfo.tv/espn360.swf"
since its a flash url but the source code was horrible it gave
a.html: Macromedia Flash data (compressed), version 8
so can any body help me to solve this...

shekar
