Hiya

I have been designing some small applications but have just come up against a brick wall for a few of them and was wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction.

What I need is a way of getting information from an external website into Flash. For example, I need the conversion rate for the UK Pound when the user enters the site. I can get this from any number of financial sites, but how would I get this into a variable dynamically? I don't know if I need XML, PHP or an Ice Cream Sundae

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
