Hello! I would like to create a virtual mindmap using PHP and Flash, powered by XML. Each of the points would appear as movable connected dots like in a mindmap. However, how am I supposed to ask Flash to constantly ask for updates when I can only use loadXML() once? Can I use callback? How do I work around this problem? Thanks!
