If you're wanting to simply do the following: a) pull data from the db b) store this date into a file c) read this data via ActionScript If my understanding is correct, you can write a simply Ruby script to pull the information from the db and write it out to a file. Next, is this file being created at a particular interval? If so, you can use cron to call this script. It's not clear from your initial e-mail as to when you'll be creating this new file. -Conrad > public\swf\example.swf > public\swf\definitions.txt > > example.swf will attempt to load definitions.txt from the same directory > > Any help would be appreciated.
