XML Integrating With Flash
 

Hi, im a complete beginner at XML and am hoping someone may be able to share some light on a problem im facing. Im working on a project where im planning to integrate XML with Flash.

I've found a URL thats feeds infomation in the form of XML code, which is constantly updated every 30secs. I am trying pick out certain data from the XML code and use it (as variables?) in Flash. The Flash movie will be placed on a website, since im trying to make the Flash movie update in relation to the XML live feed

Please can someone help, I will be extremely grateful

I foudn this, it looks great. http://www.actionscript.org/tutorial...ML/index.shtml

Is this for your own site or for something else? If you're getting info from your own site/database it would appear that a simple custom RSS feed would work, then your flash program can read right from that.

Cool, thats looks very helpful

Cheers

Yeah my own site, containing only a Flash movie on the homepage (its a course project)

This is the link to the traffic data in the form of XML that I plan to use:

The dectector data

RRS? I've heard of it but not familar with it

What would you reckon?

Cheers

I've found a page with various RSS feeds, but im not sure if they update regularly or how to feed into a Flash movie on my website
