Okay, let me clarify the design of our dashboard program a little bit.

The key element that we want to have is style and visual apeal. Now, since refresh rate isn't that important, we decided to make the display in Flash.

The problem is that Flash only does scripting - not any real programming. It's designed for the web, not real programming. As I see it, the only way to get Flash to read the info from the Dashboard is to use the import data options in Flash.
I recommend using C, C++, or PERL to create an ASP program that feeds into a website. Using Adobe Illustrator you can create a very appealing dashboard
