| 856392 | 2010-02-08 22:19:00 | Okay, basically, I listen to The Rock a lot and came to thinking about how I could get the lyrics for their songs without Google-ing all the time. The radio has a .swf file that automatically updates with the currently playing song. A basic marque text scroll. www.therock.net.nz Simply, I was wondering if php/html/any other web code could read this SWF, and search a lyrics database (or lyrics website) then display the result. Would be awesome, but yeah. Any ideas? Edit: I'd be running whatever does get made, on my website. |

| 856393 | 2010-02-08 23:53:00 | Taking a quick look at the site, it seems the SWF pulls this file: www.therock.net.nz You should be able to pipe that into any script you need. |

| 856395 | 2010-02-09 02:02:00 | In case anyone is wondering, someone forwarded me to these PHP functions. I'll see what I can do with them and hopefully have a running script by the end of the week. us2.php.net us2.php.net us2.php.net |

| 856396 | 2010-02-09 11:45:00 | I should also point out you don't actually need the ?rnd= at the end of the URL - that's just to prevent browsers from incorrectly caching that file. | nate (15033) | ||
| 856397 | 2010-02-09 22:44:00 | Ah, is that what it's for. I was curious. Thanks again. |
