[FONT=Arial Black]I am using an XML document to display data in flash. I have the swf embedded in html but I now realize that this won’t work. You see the xml data needs to be updated every few minutes. Does anyone know of a simple way to refresh the swf so that it can read from the updated XML and display accordingly in the browser ?[/FONT]
