Newbie question - Flash Controller

Hello. As I am pretty new to Visual Basic, I would please like you to guide me what to read/learn to create what I want.. Here it is:

Let's say there is a flash multiplayer game online on a page, like chess. I would like to create a program which, will receive data sent from the flash appl (eg the opponent's move) , and then send back data to the flash app making my move, without me having touch the keyboard/mouse. Basically, I want to create an app that will control automatically my moves on the flash multiplayer game according to the other player's move.

Can this be done? And if so , how? As I am not very familiar with VB, what areas should I study in order to create this?

Unless you know the internal code used in the flash applet then i don't think this is possible, because i don't see how you would get VB to recognise a move has been made without reading values within the applet itself.

However, it may be possible to send commands to the flash game. If the applet receives input from the keyboard or mouse then there are some API functions designed to simulate keyboard and mouse clicks
