Subject: RE: [Flashnewbie] Reading and displaying RSS feeds in Flash MX -
Finished!
A few people expressed interest in seeing the finished project that I have
been working on. I have uploaded it to my website along with a link to the
original XML file and a zip file with all the original source files,
including the FLA. I'd appreciate any comments you may have.
A couple of things first, this isn't quite how it will be presented on my
site. I just uploaded it quickly so everyone could see it. Second, I still
have to find a way of keeping the XML file up to date. I don't want to link
right to the XML in Flash because of the security alert that would appear
(thanks, Jessie). Right now, I am thinking of using XMLHTTP and FSO on my
default.asp page to grab the file and save it to the server. However, I
would appreciate any suggestions you may have on how best to do this.
Thanks again to Jason, Jessie, Andreas and everyone else who helped. This
has been a great actionscript learning experience for me!
