Knowing what I do about Flash and sandbox security I am wondering before I attempt to try, whether text data from an outside source can be pulled into for instance jCarousel or jScroller.

I see that jCarousel, "by passing the callback function itemLoadCallback as configuration option, you are able to dynamically create \<li\> items for the content.\<script type=“text/javascript”\>  
jQuery(document).ready(function() {  
jQuery(’#mycarousel’).jcarousel({  
itemLoadCallback: itemLoadCallbackFunction  
});  
});  
\</script\>

And of course I have no intention of pulling in images so jCarousel may not be the best solution.

I was also looking at jscroller2

and jQuery based Newsticker
