Flash & 91Èȱ¬ RSS XML feeds....
I decided to experiment with using RSS feeds going into Flash, basically to extend my portfolio (i'm a recent graduate of BA (Hons) Interactive Multimedia). I wanted to make a simple web based and downloadable application that gives a 'roundup' of the 91Èȱ¬ news in different categories. (It was only recently I was told about the 91Èȱ¬ backstage site).
I wanted to make it look 'pretty' as Flash is obviously useful for this, but at the same time to keep it simple and quick to load, something that will appeal to a large cross section of people.
For further developments I would allow a 'save' function to let the user save their feed preference. Image feature to show images from the news items. And a lot more feeds, with the option to perhaps allows feeds from other news sources. A multi language section, and so on. Well there are many future developments which could be incorporated if I had the time!!!
