I have a little test app that monitors server temp. Really simple, but it
sounds like what you're talking about. FLAP perl remoting though, not comm
server. I think remoting is better suited to what you're trying to
accomplish.

Not in Flash, it can't read in packets directly, it would have to be
preformatted as text, XML, or a native object passed through remoting.. Your
best bet is probably going to be to write a web service that you can poll.
So your web service would run on the server, keeping updated in real-time
with the SNMP data. This service would reply to requests with data
preformatted however you need it for your Flash piece to work. Then,
depending on the distance and traffic you expect, you can have the Flash
file poll it anywhere from 30 times per second to once an hour or longer.

I think remoting would work better for this kind of implementation.
