getting an swf to display my message board text

infopop's "ultimate bulletin board" forum program has the ability to dynamically pull information from the message board and place it somewhere else. for example, you can display the 5 most recent posts on the board within a little table on your homepage.

i'd like to do something similar, except display the most recent posts within a flash movie on my homepage.

the message boards allow you to output the data in a few different ways:

ssi includes (html file)
javascript include (js file)
rss agent (xml file)

outputting the information dynamically is easy enough -- its just a setting inside the message board program that, when set properly, gives you the xml, html, or js file string that you can then take and enter somewhere else -- in my case, a flash file.

i just don't know what do do in flash once i have the above. i was hoping someone here could walk me through how i get the flash movie to display the information?

thanks
