I have a ticker made with tickerfactory.com. I want to have a flash file with it, but when I import the link to the stage of Mactomedia Flash, it doesn't refresh. I guess it is simply cached somewhere on my computer. So is it possible to make it how I need it?

Looks like you're going to have to do this with code. To me, it seems like what you're requesting is putting an image from the ticker factory into your flash file so it'll update automatically. Am I right?

Assuming I am - you'll want to be accessing the image off of their server, not yours. That way, the image can update the way it's supposed to do.

Now, make a flash file and paste the following code into the first frame's action panel:

Code:
onEnterFrame = function() {
    loadMovie("http://tickers.tickerfactory.com/ezt/d/2;36;450/st/20090519/n/Some+kid/dt/-1/k/872e/age.png", 1);
}
Of course, you're going to need to replace the existing URL with the URL of your ticker.

Tell me if it works!

Thank you very much for feedback, but it still doesn't work
When I click "Test Movie" it shows only white screen!
Do you have any suggestions how to fix it? I would be very grateful

Huh. What version of flash do you have? It's possible that you have an outdated version of actionscript, so it won't work. Also, if you changed the code, could you show me exactly what you're using?

Flash MX 2004. I've changed nothing, just filled in the address of my picture (I'm sure that I've done this correct).
