How to? A live "idea" stream?
I've been trying to google this and I can't seem to get any traction and I just need a push in the right direction...
We're trying to have a flash file pull an XML file and display the latest results "live" to it. We can load an XML file and get the results and display them, it is this "live" part that we just can't figure out how to do.
So we have a bunch of speech bubbles floating across the screen. We have an HTML form that writes to a MySQL database and exports the results to an XML file. The flash file loads the XML and displays the "ideas" into each speech bubble that is floating across the screen.
We just don't know how to have the flash file "constantly check" the XML file for the newest additions and display them in the speech bubbles floating across the screen.
Any push in the right direction would be appreciated! Trying to find help with Flash is near impossible on Google as typing in "flash" brings in so many other results not related to the program. Plus I'm not sure what I should be looking for.
