Two SWFs, One XML

[LynxMukka]

Hi,

I recently bought the ticker from FlashDen and have found it ok to use, although I did find the guide wasn't enough.

Nevertheless, I've implemented it on a website, but I also want to implement it on a forum too, which happens to be on a different directory, still the same domain though.

In any case, I was wondering whether it was possible for both SWF files to read the same XML file, so when the XML is updated, it can sync to both SWFs instead of having to update it for each one.

At the end of the guide you mentioned something about XML files, if that's similar to what I need help with, perhaps you could explain it a little more.

I'd appreciate any help you can give me.

Thanks!

Hello, you could try something like:

Example directory structure:
- main and secondary
in the main folder you have one.swf and one.xml
and in the secondary you have two.swf ( which will load ../one.xml please modify this in the source code, open main.as and find xmlOb.load(_level0.xml == undefined ? "data.xml" : _level0.xml); change data.xml with something.xml, save and compile to generate a new swf which will use that xml file)

That's about it ! I hope you understand. If not, contact me by email, razvan@oxylus.ro and I will respond faster

Cheers !
