RSS Ad flash banner with MODx documents

I don’t know if this is exactly the right plae to put this.... but here it goes...

Does anyone know some good flash component or something similar to achieve the following:

- make flash banner as .swf to distribute to other advertisers (can be changed in width and height)
- in that .swf should be the latest documents published (from certain folder) within MODx

I have something similar that works in .js(www.vikendplaner.info/banner), but I need it with flash for the sake of simplicity and templating.
I know this is done by RSS but I’m totally lost at the moment...


any help would be great

From what it sounds ...

You’ll need a Flash component that pulls data from a XML feed (not RSS). Then, a Snippet that creates a properly formatted XML document based on the data in a set of documents.

A good example of a custom XML feed is something like the GoogleSiteMap package:

can this be done to support crossdomain?


The goal is to set-up the ONE flash file (for distribution),
and fill it up (on all other domains.. websites...)
with recent news within MODx


...or in other words....
I’m searching a way to display content from ex. http://www.vikendplaner.info/feed.rss
into a flash document (for distribution).


I must admit I don’t see much connection with this package or I’m just too tired to figure it out

That package is just for reference on how to create a custom XML feed.

If you are trying to take an existing RSS feed and display the data in a Flash movie, that really has nothing to do with MODx. Just get or make something like this:

and plug in the various RSS feeds.

If you’re trying to CREATE an RSS feed based on data you put in MODx, then see:
