Re: Embedding a stock ticker in QC



Chris,

we did this for a project in fall and the only way to do it is to have an RSS feed of the stock things and then visualise this.

Look at the bottom of the screenshots, the ticker is not a band but a flip.

Cheers,

Oliver.

This is a slightly older topic, but I have a similar issue and have been exploring ways of creating a scrolling ticker in QC. My idea uses an RSS feed and works ok, but it requires truncating every story to the same size and moving them across. I could really use some help in figuring this out.

Hi Moheb. I was able to load the ticker (after waiting for some time), though i don't think you will be able to
load this Java applet into a composition. If you have access to the data you can build your own stock ticker in QC,
which has the potential to look a lot better than the one you provided.

Hi Alessandro

Thanks for your patience.
What I'm trying to achieve is to "Display" a stock ticker in a Quartz Composition.
I'm not sure what is actually doable. But as long as it gets displayed & grabs it's
database from a certain source on the internet , that should do.


If the QC cannot grab this particular stock ticker but can grab other tickers from Yahoo
for example , I'll stick to it & convince my client that these are the limitations.
My client is trying to display any ticker as part of his digital signage project but this
particular one is the local - mostly liked - one.


The compositions will include Flash movies , QT Ref movies , RSS feeds etc ...
& the ticker would be an asset to the project only if we can display it.


I understand that tickers come in two types : java & flash. I was hoping to create
a flash file that would display the ticker & eventually include it in the composition.


The ticker's site is : http://www.dfm.co.ae/dfm/Main/homepage.asp# %23
click on "Stock Ticker"


Thanks a lot

Hi Moheb. Are you looking to reproduce the stock ticker's functionality in QC or are you trying to embed what you already have.
Since i cannot get it to work you'll need to be specific about what you are trying to achieve.

The link is a stock ticker that I need to include in a QC.
The link takes a while to load . It loads perfectly from my
side of the world.

What specifically is your question? I am unable to load the page you sent in either Safari or Firefox.

Hello Everyone

I'm trying to embed this stock ticker in a QC for a digital signage project:

http://www.dfm.co.ae/dfm/ticker/ticker2.htm

I have built a Flash file that triggers the site but never managed to make it
display the actual ticker.


Any suggestions ?

Best
