Greetings everyone, I will potentially be asked in the coming months to create a dynamic flash-powered stock ticker, being fed data from a MySQL database. I already have done some flash remoting before which is likely what I will do on this project, but my question concerns more the animation aspect of the ticker.
I guess the first question is: does anyone know of a package (open source or commercial) which offers a customizable, adminable stock ticker component? In absence of that, any hints of tips anyone can offer would be of great help. The way I have done some somewhat similar projects involved creating a large movie clip from the loaded data, and then calculating the width of that movie clip to use in its looping animation (using 2 instances to make it seamless). The problem I foresee with that is that this has the potential of being very long, and thus might not animate smoothly. Does anyone have any general suggestions I should consider as I plan this project? Thank you very much in advance, Alex _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
