Greetings,
I have a couple questions about a Flash project that I’m working on. Hopefully you folk can help me out with this! I understand enough Flash to accomplish the project, but not enough to know whether or not it work.
The project is a completely in-house digital signage display. I work in an office where we have some HDTV’s mounted on the walls. These TV’s get their visual content from local PC’s that are connected to a network. What I would like to do on these TV’s is display a Flash animation that I can update with text content and image content.
I need the Flash animation to automatically update with the ever changing content. The animation should pull from a local XML file that will be constantly updated throughout the day. Can the Flash animation automatically refresh every so often without user input to re-read the local XML file and reflect the changes? This is really the most important part of the project.
Is this possible? If more detailed explanation is needed just let me know and I’ll try my best. And if there is a sub-forum that this thread would fit into better, please let me know!
