Flash effect and load txt info

[RichardMH]

Hi

I would like to know how and if its possible to have a flash that reacts every 1 minute or so and do some special effects + reads and shows the info of a txt file on the webserver..?

[RichardMH]

if someone could say if its possible or not..


no?

you can have flash create a delay on a function that performs whatever you want it to performfunction doSomething() {
clearInterval(si);
trace('hi');
}

var si = setInterval(doSomething, 60 * 1000);

I want text to be going from right to left.. like an news/info update for the people that checks the site..

[sophistikat]

do you mean a news ticker?

[RichardMH]

ya, something like that :D
is it possible to just have a txt file on the server that the news ticker reads every other minute and displays?

[sophistikat]

yes; simply do a search for news tickers
also; take a look at Lee's MySQL, PHP & Flash Tutorial (http://www.gotoandlearn.com)
