flash data integration: Hi, I'm designing a website aiming to provide visual coverage of surfing
locations across the UK through the use of webcam images. Each of the images
themselves will be retrieved externally, with permission, from various hotels
over-looking these locations.

I have spoken to someone who has completed a similar project, a widget which
retrieves and displays webcam images, which can be viewed here:

http://www.ukbiketrails.co.uk/ukss/weCams.php

I would like to use the same method. Explained in his own words:

'The feeds you see in the widget are simply JPEG images hosted on the
originating website, so none of the feeds are handled by myself. The widget
sends a HTTP request for the JPEG and displays what it gets in the widget.'

As you can tell from the link url, he's used PHP, which I have been learning.

I have lost contact with him recently and not sure the steps I should take to
integrate such a feature into my website. Please help.

Your post is quite cryptic. Please be more specific with the issues you are
having. There are several different ways to load Jpegs into Flash and if this
is the problem then search the forums. Its been answered time and time before.
