Can I access Flash data before they are rendered by the browser ?

Question

Is it possible to read numbers and names from a Flash page before they are rendered by the browser ? The webpage is changing dynamically and I would like to capture the data every about 60 minutes.

I have no access to the Flash website but I might be able to modify an open source browser if this would help. OS is Win 7 and I can speak a little C++.

Answer 1

The data is chnaging dynamically means that there is some page at backend serving to the flash page. Use a sniffer (such as ethereal) to know the serving page. Then you can call the page directly.

Another solution might be create a screenshot of browser and then pass this to a OCR
