Gig Guide... XML?

Hello,… I’m probably out of my depth here, as I always tend to be. I try working it out for myself, then resort to looking at kirupa.com for help, then end up on the forum becasue im too impatient and end up getting nowhere at all.

Anywho!

My objective…

I wish to create a banner displaying upcoming gigs for my band on which I will put up on our bands myspace.

Basically, I want 2 bits of information in text form, fading in and out on my banner. The Date and Location. But I want the information to change each time the text fades out so once it fades back in, the text displayed will be different… Let me try and explain this so a Mule can understand:

[COLOR=“DarkSlateBlue”]TEXT IS FADED (INVISIBLE, CANT BE SEEN)[/COLOR]
[COLOR=“DarkGreen”]Text is loaded from an external source, with the information:[/COLOR]
[COLOR=“Red”]Date: 31st Feb Location: Superdome, Kansas City[/COLOR]
[COLOR=“DarkSlateBlue”]THIS TEXT FADES IN AND IS DISPLAYED FOR A WHILE THEN FADES OUT[/COLOR]
[COLOR=“DarkGreen”]Then new Text is loaded and the process is repeated.[/COLOR]

I hope this is explained well enough, please reply if you can help, or need further explanation. Any help is much appriciated!
