Best way to integrate R and Flash/Flex

Question

I want to make a Flash or Flex front end for my R code, I want to call an R function from a website (using Flash) what is the best way to go about connecting Flash and R?

Answer 1

Duncan Temple Lang has a package FlashMXML that it provides (and I quote):

• various graphics devices for R that generate the plot as ActionScript code that can be displayed within a Flash application, and
• tools to generate MXML content from R data
• an R function for compiling MXML files to SWF binaries to be run by a Flash Player in a Web browser or stand-alone.

Answer 2

This doesn't directly address your need, but the animation package also allows you to create flash output, but just of static animations. Here are the slides from UseR! last year.
