hey guys,
i'm looking to build a stand-alone projector app, that would basically work as a news ticker.
However, it would need to connect to one of my websites in order to display the news headlines.
the website is developed in php with a mysql db.
I could have a page that would be php/xml where the title and headlines of the today's news would be displayed.
Is it possible to create a projector that would pull the information off of that page??
This would not require a login or anything like that... the page would be on a public section of the website.
Any tips, pointers are greatly appreciated.

Create a PHP script that accesses the same data but one that will be used just by your projector. Make this PHP page spit out the data in XML format so that you can just load it into Flash and process it.
