Hi, I'm wondering if it's possible to somehow read the data from the news module? I want to create a flash animation that presents the three latest news items on my site. So it needs to grab the dates, contents etc from the news module. But where does the news contents go? SQL database? And do you know if Flash is able to read directly from a SQL database?
Thanks for any help!

Flash can easily read from a database, but this is quite an involved process if you are new to Flash.
Take a quick Google for flash databases, and visit the Flash sites on t'internet, flashkit.com come to mind for instance

Great! Now the only question is, where does the News module store its news content in the database? Should be easy to find but I've had no success so far.. any clue?
