in reply to Outputting Text To Flash
It isn't quite the way that you intended but it may suit your needs. The Perl::Flash module uses the libswf.a library to directly create and manipulate Flash movies. It doesn't seem to be on CPAN so you will have to download it from that site.
On a similar theme there is also the SWF::File module.
