Webmaster Forum / Flash / Data Integration / June 2007RSS Feed in flash site
I am a relatively new Flash user. I am using MX 04. I want to have an RSS Newsfeed to my site and the only way I have seen is by using Data Connection Wizzard 1.0 and DataGrid Column Editor 1.0. These do not work with my version (MX 04) Has anybody used these Extensions and are they pretty simple to use? I will upgrade if so. Looking for a reason! Hi Essentially RSS is an XML file that the originator predefines, provided you know the URL to the RSS feed - For example [b]http://www.wunderground.com/auto/rss_full/TX/Amarillo.xml[/b] points to the weather for Amarillo, Texas. Notice the file ends with .xml - you can use the XML Class in MX2004 to Parse (decode) this file and extract the information you need. The construct of this xml file never changes only the informaton (weather detail) obviously. Once you have the detial you need, you can use an Interval to refresh the data at a frequency of your choosing. Hope it helps |
