My friend is making a small ECG device to be carried by a patient which
records his 24 hr ECG .. He is then supposed to attach that machine to com
port and download the data [ the machine has a flash rom ]

When integer 'i' is sent to the machine it sends data to comp port..

now comes the main part .. is there a way by which that data can be taken
directly in flash to make a good looking ECG display ?

is there a way / function / action script by which flash can communicate
with a com port device ?

thanks
