    Default FTSE 100 ticker, Please HELP

    Hi,
    does anybody know how to build in Flash a FTSE 100 ticker like the one used here: http://www.ftse.com/
    I assumed it's like a news ticker but I don't have a clue about how getting the data I need.

    I just need the ticker, not the interactive map.


    cheers
    Andrea

    Fairly simple really, to build anyway. It is a simple scroll bar here with dynamic content loaded into variables. The scroll bar scrolls, the content is loaded on enter frame and there you have it. The rest is aesthetics.

    The hard pert here is where are you going to get your content from (the stock changes). If it is from an API you wont have much issue, the hard part will be giving each a variable name to use.

    If you are doing it manually, enjoy that. It would suck.
