I just started using the ming perl bindings via the SWF modules which can be built along with libming itself. Everything has been going nicely, and now I want to incorporate some actionscript/javascript interaction. I'm totally new to actionscript so for now am just following stuff from the web. The first thing I noticed is that the ming interpreter doesn't like "import", there is a sort of note about this here:

https://mail.netsweng.com/pipermail/ming-bugs/2007-August/000121.html

I have not yet tried to sort this part out: "ExternalInterface will not work in a local sandbox, in order to test you must access both the movie and the holding HTML via http://". This must be specific to Ming since there is no reference to the issue in actionscript tutorials on the topic.

So I thought I'd check here to see if anyone has SUCCESSFULLY done this and if that nice person might be willing to post an example.
