the buoy read out on the right hand side should read the current buoy readings through my server php which are then cached on my server from the [nooa.gov](http://nooa.gov) site  
here is the action script

var loader:URLLoader=new URLLoader();  
loader.load(new URLRequest(“[http://www.dirtybirdsurf.com/proxy.php?url=http%3A//www.ndbc.noaa.gov/data/latest\_obs/41035.txt](http://www.dirtybirdsurf.com/proxy.php?url=http%3A//www.ndbc.noaa.gov/data/latest_obs/41035.txt)”));  
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete);  
function onComplete(event:Event):void  
{  
external\_txt.text = event.target.data;  
}
