diploma - need your help

[_spine]

hi guys!
i´m student of the polytechnical university of hagenberg for mediatechnologie and mediadesign and i´m looking for a theme on making my diploma.

i´d like to do something on open swf - ming. and i got a few questions:

- is it possible to get xml data to ming?

- is it possible to show the new swf (with graphical changes resulting of new xml data) without new compiling in ming?

the result should be a kind of stock market news ticker in open swf


thanks for any help

greetings from austria markus

Hi Markus,

envision ming as an alternative to flash .. you can build a movie, as you can in flash, and the movie can contain the same actionscripts that a flash movie would
On the other side envision ming as something that builds flash movies as ordered...
So you could well make a stock ticker that just reads a data source periodically but does itself never change, and you could also create some diagram and send it as a new movie whenever it is requested.

Obviously, with previous flash versions, many things could not be done (like drawing diagrams) that the current flash player will do.

BTW - feel free to mail or PM me if you want to discuss things in detail
