| Posted: Fri Jan 07, 2005 1:07 am Post subject: Little help? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have a drug company client(lets call them Pshizer) that wants an animated flash screensaver for their emploees. Which isn't a problem in itself... but they want the screensaver to have a news ticker on it that updates automaticaly. Does any one know if this is easy to pull off? Or even possible without the flash being launched in a browser? PHP? mysql? Any sugjestions or help would be apreciated. I have to make a proposal on Monday. Thanks guys. |
| This depends on the security on their network. Flash will quite easily make requests over a network (or the internet) to any source. It easily understands XML and flashvars. In this example, XML would probably be better. XML could be generated by pretty much any language you can think of - all common languages have support for XML already. The only problem I can see is if they have a firewall that asks the user to allow/deny access to the internet per application, but in a company as large as your fictional pshizer that is unlikely. |
