Displaying news items from external files using Flex
If you've built applications in Flash, you'll probably have created at least one that loaded content from an external file. Maybe a text or XML file, or even a PHP or ASP .NET file that grabs information from a database. External files are useful because you don't need to update the application each time the content changes.
You'll be glad to know that you can also load external files into Flex applications, although things have changed quite a bit since earlier versions of Flash. You can load information from text files, XML documents and even from web services.
