importing text from a MB to use in flash (ubb 6.4)
hi!
the new ultimate bulletin board from infopop (6.4) allows for these things called "content islands" -- which allows you to add a line or two of code to an area of your site, separate from the message boards, in order to pull information from yer MBs and display it.
you can choose to automatically produce this code in javascript html, an include file html, or rss syndication files (xml)
i think flash mx can read xml (right?) so im assuming thats the option to choose.
just incase, first, here's a sample javascript line:
Code:
<.script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.3" src="http://boards.somewhere.com/ContentIslands/1/html.js"></script>
to use the RSS 1.0 format, you must point an RSS agent at the following URL:
Code:
http://boards.signhereonline.net/ContentIslands/1/rss10.xml
(if you have to use rss 0.92, you change the above to "/1/rss092.xml")
so....
what do i do with that information?
create a flash movie with a dynamic text box? ... then where do i apply the code?
