hi! i read the random quote generator tutorial and used it and all  
you can find that tutorial here : [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/random\_quotes.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/random_quotes.htm)

this tutorial allows me to get quotes from a text file …

i thought it would be cool if i can format the quote so that it can get quotes from a website such as [http://www.quotationspage.com/qotd.html](http://www.quotationspage.com/qotd.html). Of course, i am not looking to get any random quote from any random place on the website but from the “quotations of the day” page (website above) which gives 4 different quotations everyday …

i’d really appreciate it if someone could help out with getting quotes from an exterior source like this website by playing around with the code

so, in conclusion, when i press the “generate” button which generates a new random quote, instead of it getting this quote from a text file, how can i get a quote from the “quotations of the day” page from that website?

i need actionscript help …

hey! maybe a tutorial for this can even be added on the site!

thanx alot!
