News Reader

[waheed alqawasmi]

Guys,

Hoping to post my question in the right place. Here it is.

I already have a my FLA reading my News from a .TXT file. My question is how do I create one that can read the titles from the .TXT and once clicked on the title, the article or description, scrolls down.

I am trying to do something similar to this:
http://www.waytion.com/

look at how their news page is at the front page.

Can anyone please help me with this, I have done my research and I am totally lost. I would appreciate all the help I can get, even if its just a link to another thread that might have an answer.

The way that that site is most likely doing this is through XML and not a txt file. This way you can have flash read your custom tags and put the xml data where you want. What you are basically doing is creating a simple RSS reader using Flash and XML. There are several good tutorials floating around the web that accomplish this. Google search: create xml rss reader only you will create your own feed via an xml file.
