News ticker question Can't Post
So I got this new newsticker script which works via flash. It's pretty nice and all that and managed to make it work however it's only pulling the last news I'm posting and keeps rotating the same link.

I created a new publishing rule and used a different XML template to follow what the script needed to work.

The xml file is at
Code
http://www.wrestling-online.com/news/news.xml

The shtml file that calls the flash file is at
Code
http://www.wrestling-online.com/news/newsticker.shtml

Loading the XML file shows all the headlines so that's working good but for some odd reason it only pulls the latest headline.

Is there something I'm missing from the AM2 end? Loading the XML test file that came with the script worked fine without any problems.

Thanks.

Colin

Hi ColinW-O

Thanks for posting!

This is likely going to be a bit tricky as we don't really work with flash. I agree though that the xml file Article Manager is creating looks good. It has a bunch of different articles.

I am wondering if the problem may be a pathing thing in the Flash file.

My suggestion is to see if the people you got that flash from can take a look. Don't mention that you are creating that xml file with a different program.

Just send them the two links you posted here and ask them to take a look.

Thanks!
