Hi all. I don’t have experience working with flash . But i need a help adding auto update rss [xml](http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1338800&page=1#) to a flash image rotator which is not made me(The author provided the source .fla file).Now flash pulls image url from a rss feed but if i want view updated rss i have to reload the whole page!!

I appreciate if any one help me modify this flash so it pulls data every 15 seconds automatically without refreshing the whole page. i know you might suggest to use javascript but i want to use this flash where javascript is disabled.I did some search and noticed flash has this auto update power but never found a good tutorial on how to do it!!

Currently flash image rotator pulls rss xml feed like shown below. I appreciate some one help in achieving this task.Thanks
