get inteernet information - use javascript?

[Rcamara webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

I would like to know how, or if, I can get the nasdaq quotes online to my director movie, into text fields.
I've found this javascript but I don't know how, or if I can use it.



public static String quote(String symbol) {
try {
java.net.URL url = new java.net.URL(
"http://quotes.nasdaq.com/quote.dll?page=_
xml&mode=stock&symbol=" + symbol);
com.borland.xml.XmlData data =
new com.borland.xml.XmlData(url).getKid("equity-quote");

return quote.getKidValue("trade-datetime") + " " +
quote.getKidValue("last-sale-price"));
} catch (Exception e) {
return "(no data)";
}
}





Thank you
Ricardo

Look at the source of
[url]http://quotes.nasdaq.com/reference/comlookup.stm[/url]

from which it appears that you can use getNetText to get the info you want.

Nowadays I can't see "nasdaq" without mis-reading it as naquada :-)
