Simple flash "notice board" question...?

I would like to add a Notice/Bulletin/Message Board (call it what you will… In fact, the reason I couldn’t find a tutorial online was because I didn’t know what to search!) on a website.

All I want is a little box with a title at the top and some navigation at the bottom, and in the middle, I want some dynamic content (news items etc.) loaded from a text file.

The reason I want the navigation is to show different news items on different “frames” (see, I’m new, and I don’t even know the lingo!). Navigation should be a forward and back, but I don’t want it to stop automatically scrolling (Oh, did I mention that? Yeah, I’d like it to auto scroll like every ten or so seconds, fade in/out to the next item). I also wouldn’t mind a play/pause button for added affect, if it’s feasible (you know, one images that switches onmouseup or something?).

I know its a simple task, but I am very new at this and would like to speed up the process and boost the confidence with some code ideas, or a good tutorial for this type of thing.

At the very least, tell me what this type of thing is called, so that I can Google it without getting flash forums (by this I don’t mean I don’t want an answer from a forum, but I don’t want to download a flash forum.)!

Thanks for any help!
