(web)Scraping a flash site

I recently did some simple webscraping with Python-library BeautifulSoup[1], which i got quite satisfied with. A page i use frequently has an annoying flash interface displaying news. I want to make an RSS feed for the news on the page, but i have no idea how to extract the text content of the flash page. I'd be grateful if anyone could point me towards tools which could make it possible to write a small script which could be run in a cron job for example.
