You'd have to stick to the php route. Flex/flash runs client side in the
browser, so can't call on server side command line code. All it would end up
doing is having to call on some sort of webservice written in php anyway.

After searching on the Web and on this site, I believe that using fcsh (ins=
tead of mxmlc) may be the way to go. Using fcsh would certainly compile the=
 .mxml file faster (after the first run), and I think that fcsh can be laun=
ched as a service that might be able to be called from PHP.</p>
