Hi,
I would like to find out a way to play .swf files on our HD1010s primarily so that we can use the .swf to pull in live text data from an XML file either locally or from a file server.
Are there any methods to allow this to work?

  The brightsign doesn't support playback of swf files. Can you explain how you would use the text data? How is this different from an rss feed to the unit?

  We want to display stock price information and trade volumes layed out as a table. The Stock names will remain the same will the prices and volume information will update.
  
  It would also allow to to programatically change text and colour information based on the incoming data.
  
  Here is a basic example of the type of information we want to display. http://finance.yahoo.com/intlindices?e=asia

  I'm also very interested in this functionality. It would address most of the limitations that the system currently has and add the possibility of creating more visually dynamic and engaging content, and increasing the possibility to visually layout xml and rss feeds.

  The units don't support flash playback currently. I do not know when or if flash support will be added.

  THere's no support for flash files with the new HD units. Most likely, it won't be until there's a new platform.
