Adding XML records inside a flash file

[benwawil]

Hellow,

i need some help while developing a flash application that has to list received text messages. I want to pay for the person who can give me a basic structure of the code. It has to be done in flash mx or with the (free version) of FLEX.

I have a XML file that is frequently updated. The flash file has to change depending on the values on that XML file. The flash file has to check every 5 to 15 seconds if there are new records in the XML file.

Structure of the XML file(s):

<parameters>
  <layer>
      <title>Title that has to be included in the swf file</title>
      <number>number '1' or '2'</number>
      <text>text for frame 2</text>
  </layer>
</parameters>
 
<catalog>
  <sms>
     <nr>here trackingsnr always higher than the previous one</nr>
     <text>here text</text>
     <sender>here the senders phone nr</sender>
     <date>6 june 2007 - 22:00:00</date>
  </sms>
   ....
</catalog>

Now the swf file has to be able to do this:
if the number field from parameters is 1 it has to show screen 1. On screen 1 you have to show the last 5 messages. When there is a new message arrived in the catalog database, you have to include this on screen 1 with a nice effect and the oldest message has to disappear.
if the number is 2 you have to display screen 2 and place there (nice in the center) the text message from the parameter list.

The swf file has to check every 5 to 15 seconds if there are new messages or if the number parameter has been changed. The swf file will be used to play offline on fullscreen mode and will be projected.

I can make this in html/css and php but then there is no smooth effect when a new message arrives. I only know the basics of flash/flex, so i'm able to edit your work and finish the details, but i'm not able to build this myself.

How much would it cost to make the basic file so i can do the finishing details? There is no specific deadline. Somewhere around july is good enough.

you can contact me here or mail me at mailATbenwa.be

thanks!!
