I would like to be able to access all the components of say a Flash image gallery on someone else's site. I want to be able to find the images, image coordinates, action script code, audio files, video, etc. I do not want to manipulate these elements, I just want to view them and their related information. 
Is this possible via scripting languages like Ruby, Python or Javascript?
You can if (and only if) your application domain is the same.
Is it possible to access the internal elements of an embedded Flash object via a scripting language?
