    Huh? News updated on start?

    Hello guys I was not sure where to start with this or what to use so I did not know what to search for to see if this topic had been covered sorry if it has.

    I'm working on a program and I want to have a news area on it that can pull the info from my website via html, php, flash or some other format every time the user opens the program. I was not sure what the standard was I just want text news, with the ability to be able to have the text in different colors and styles.

    Any help would be great thanks guys.

    You could update an ini file from time to time with different values of Headlines, News, Links, etc.

    Now, from the ams project, you could download this ini file every day or so, loading the values of your ini file into different input/paragraph objects.

    Just an idea,
    Mina

    Presto,

    What you're lookin fer is a bit complicated for a novice like me. You want to collect news Headers and News Text from a provider through a processor within AMS that cut text and repaste it in the format you want.

    I have done in a simpler way due to my limited knowledge. I collect all the headers I wanted into webpages using PHP codes given by this site www.news4sites.com . Its free.

    I preferred PHP for my purpose, but you can choose from these: Javascript, XML, PHP, C#, VB.NET and SQL statements.

    Then I use the WebObject and WebLoadURL action in AMS to pull whatever I have set in the dozens of php pages hosted in my server. So whatever I have in the server is displayed in my AMS App.

    You wanna see a sample?

    Just create a news page on your web site and then have a news page in your AMS app with a web object that points to your news page on your web site. No need to download anything. Every time you update the news page on your web site, your users will see it when they open the news page in the app.

    Because it will be a html page, you can format the text how you want with colors etc and images.

    There are other ways but this is by far the simplest to setup and maintain.
