hi,

problem again …  
can I make flash swf file to parse html?  
I’d like to load text from a html file … but the file’s source isn’t plain text. it’s like this :

\<HTML\>\<meta http-equiv=“Pragma” content=“no-cache”\>\</head\>\<body\>Text that I need is here. \</body\>\</html\>

all in the same row. and my swf will not load the text needed althow while watching the page it seems like plain text. so I figured it must be a parse problem.

plus the problem that I can’t edit the html file… (I can’t put “myNews=” in front of the text I need… 😊

can I fix it?

the swf file is built on the sample found in this portal ([http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/multiple\_dynamictext.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/multiple_dynamictext.htm))

thanks a loads,

r.

I have a winamp shoutcast server and I’d like to show in the swf file what song is currently playing…

I found out that I can see the songs title in [http://palace.ee:8000/7.html](http://palace.ee:8000/7.html) address… so I figured that if i’d imported it to my file it would show it with animations…

for some odd reason the php file doesn’t want to include it either… :S
