in reply to Pixel scraping flash to extract text

I had a similar situation once, I did the following: get a flash decompiler (google for it, I forgot which one I used), decompile the flash to see how it is getting the data, mostlikely calling some http site, then write a perl script to get the data directly. That worked fine for me. The ethereal approach is also good if the protocol is open like http, but you won't be able to see cleartext https traffic.
