No backend scripting is necessary to learn flashcom. However, you will need to
learn SSAS(Server-Side ActionScript) which is based on AS 1.0 due to flashcom's
architecture of AS 1.0. It is remarkably easy and you will be up and running
in no time. I recommend visiting the
http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/progflashcs/index.html.

Also, Flashcom has the ability to exchange data through flash remoting server
side to connect to external datasources through SSAS.

Hope that helps.
