Overview

Our project is made up of two main components:

• The Flash movie, which will contain the text fields used to receive the news.
  
  
• The text file that describes the information to be displayed.
  
  

The final goal is to be able to update the news bulletins only by modifying this text file.

In order for it to work, this project needs variables to know which text file to use and where the news should be displayed. For instance, the value of a variable x, specified in the text file, must be displayed in the movie through the updatable text field y. Content (.TXT) and container (.SWF) will then be independent.
