Hey how can I load a thread from a forum into flash? My guess is to make a php page that reads that thread and load it into flash from there. Or can i dirctly call it from that existing page? Thanks ---

you can load this very page into flash, but you will not be able to display it as Flash doesn’t support half of the html tags used in this page… 🙂 ---

hmm okay so how about just plain text? Let’s say I wanted to load the first post in this thread from this page. How would I do that as far as the php is concerned? What page would i be editing? or would I be making a new php page? thanks for the quick reply 🙂 ---

you would have to make a new page to call the data from the database… ---

yup, only you can’t coz you don’t have the access details for the db 🙂 so you can try to use the url in your browser ([http://64.207.155.38/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=33246](http://64.207.155.38/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=33246)) and parse the returned page to get the text only…good luck 😉 ---

forums should have RSS feeds like those of weblog’s… it would be pretty cool and very useful 🙂 ---

thanks guys, i figured it out. let me explain what exactly i am doing. i set up a message board where a mod will input news to a locked section. the news section of the website will read off that section. got the php working fine, right now just having a bit of trouble loading it into flash. i loaded php into flash before but this seems a bit different. i may have soem further issues so be sure to look for another post 🙂 thanks!
