Intro. 


Flash News Ticker is an easy way to create a news ticker on your website. This ticker can be generated dynamically via a 
mysql database or a variable located at the end of the .swf(ex. ticker.swf?content=Your+Content+here).


1. Choose which way you would like to use your ticker.
 	a. Dynamically via MySQL and php - see MySQL install
	b. Variable in .html/.php/.shtml (ex. /ticker.swf?content=Your+Content+here) - see Variable install

2. Edit ticker.php and change the variables labeled // CHANGE ME
3. Test ticker.php and see if it displays your headlines. It should display 'content=Your+Headlines+Here'
