Hi there

I am designing a thermometer (flash 8) that will read a variable to animate the red portion of the thermometer to reach the given temperature.

I am told this will be done by passing the value via php (which is over my head), but for now to get a working model I can start by having flash read a value from variable in a text file.

Can anyone help me get started on this with the logic and actionscript? I am novice-level in programming.

thanks!  
Steve
