I’m trying to solve a problem where I have a nice Flash button and when  
a user presses that button I need an Ajax request to be sent to the  
server in order to process some RJS code.  
I’ve tried googling, but cannot find any solution to my problem.  
I am using ActionScript3 to do URL handling logic of my Flash button.  
Has anyone done anything similar?

Am I thinking about this the wrong  
way? Can Flash even call Ajax like requests?

Thanks for your help!
