Just to prove that we didn't create our Earfull demo with the aid of some smoke and few mirrors, Tim's put together a rough-n-ready screencast illustrating how he used ActionScript to post variables directly from the Flash form to XMPie uProduce through an Interactive Content Port (ICP). In his 17 minute screencast, Tim also explains how he also triggers an API request from Flash to generate a PDF proof on uProduce, then polls the server at intervals to report back the job status and displays an appropriate message on the Flash page.
Disclaimer: this screencast is not for the faint-hearted. If you're not familiar with Flash and ActionScript, then please don't try this at home, or bombard me or Tim with endless questions. Yes, it can be done, without any need for sticky tape, but does require an intermediate knowledge of ActionScript and Flash in the first place.
