Flash Player

Is there anyway to tell where the data from a flash site comes from? Is there an xml version you can access?

I want to update these tennis scores as quick as possible...

http://www.protennislive.com/frames...w.atptennis.com


They changed the format of the scoreboard and I believe (but I really dont know) they were running off xml such as http://lss.atptennis.com/scores/200...c_MatchList.xml before, but these dont seem to update anymore.

If not is there a way I can set it so flash updates every second? Because at the moment it just seems to refresh every 30 seconds or so which isnt any use. Refreshing the brower just refeshes everything

I dont really have a clue when it comes to software but any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Short answer: No, it can't be done.

Long answer: If you decompile the .swf and look around you could probably find the data source, but it mightn't be any good to you because it's not likely to be in a common format. Even if you could do it, you shouldn't. Updating scores every second stresses the data server, that's why they put a (relatively) long refresh time on it. What if everyone did what you wanted to do? The server would melt from the load, and nobody gets any scores at all, that's what. Do you want to be the guy that ruins it for everyone?
