Intetergrating php rss with flash display

[chazzy69]

I was wondering if it would be possible to first retrieve a rss feed with php and then try to display it in a flash design in which i could make the rss feeds scroll.

Or would i have to use javascript to achieve the scrolling??

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated thanks

RSS is just an XML file, so you could quite easily parse that with one of the XML classes available to PHP (google). Yes, flash does have the capabilities for scrolling content.

Sorry what i ment is, i already have a php script to parse a rss feed but i was wondering if i could somehow import this text into a flash file so that i could scroll the output from the rss parsing.

Thanks again
