Thanks a lot  Benjamin and strk for help :)


You haven't said what sort of "links" you want to extract. Just those
that appear in getURL? Or any URL, for instance in XML.sendAndLoad,
LoadVars.load, LoadVars.send, NetConnection.call, NetStream somewhere,
or the various methods I haven't thought of just now? Or links in
dynamically-loaded text? You need to think about what you need before
asking again.


As we're builiding a Web crawler, we need to extract all links in the Flash.
Simple (gtURL ...) and dynamic (generated from variables
maniuplations ...)  ones.

 


Gnash will play a SWF and (as a side-effect) log any links (e.g. in
getURL) that it handles. That doesn't mean Gnash will encounter all the
links in a SWF, because you often need user interaction to reach
particular frames. If you want to look at the entire content of an SWF
irrespective of how it's played, Gnash is the wrong tool.

bwy.

This is exactly what we want to come up with. A kind of "clicker" on
the flash content
to simulate user interaction.

We're new to Flash, so apologize.
