Ok almost have the XML thing worked out... and the dynamic HTML text. So I'm closing in on a nice XML base guestbook. Here is a little preview that loads a simple XML datafile and parses the output into a dynamic HTML element. Oh and best thing is so far it's about 1k

Very Sweet,
I have a few scripts that compile XML, but I have little knowledge on how to use it.
would this movie be able to pull XML from, say,
Blogs, Forums, USPS Shipping, maybe? :D (They output XML)
I noticed some variables being presented there like a HTML tag, would those variables need to be set in the movie?
Great work so far, I'm near convinced theres not much you cant do brett...... Thanks for the peek!

Yeah You could pull XML from those sources. The example here is just a text file on my server. The one problem to overcome is whitespace. By default Flash sees whitespace as a node so that complicates matters, right now I've just removed all the whitespace, but I think it could be dealt with progamically unless 3dfa gets the ingorewhitespace function added.Quote:

Do you have a link to any cool XML sources? I'd like to play with other material. Rob says there will be an XML example in the next beta release.

Take a look at:
http://www.tackleunderground.com/board/rdf.php
This is an XML output of one of my heavily modified PHPBB forums.
The RDF/XML script is pulling the data from MYSQL.
It has a few parameter to play with also.
example:
Shows last 50 posts. dont know why it looks like "5U" in the code, its actually "C=50" (above)PHP Code:http://www.tackleunderground.com/board/rdf.php?c=50
Shows only posts made in forum ID #.3 (above)PHP Code:http://www.tackleunderground.com/board/rdf.php?f=3
Hey Brett, I think Vbulletin has an XML mod also, If we could talk flashkit into throwing the script into the BB directory, you could "SWF" the flashkit boards, huh. :eek:
lol just a brainfart, lemme know if you need more.
