How would a person retrieve their MySpace details for storing in an XML file

[jeremy_swnsn]

to use in a Flash layout? A site that is gaining popularity is www.lovemyflash.com, where they have premade MySpace layouts created in Flash. Since their .swf files are stored on their server, and dynamically retrieve your MySpace information, I assume they have written a program (PHP script?) that will extract the information from your MySpace code and create an XML file. Then, the .swf layout must pull that XML data into the layout live when your page is viewed.

I'm a designer, so I have no problem with Flash and have always thought of creating my own MySpace Flash layout. However, I do not have as much programming knowledge. I'd like to know if I'm going in the right direction with this. Does anyone know the best method which I can pull information such as Age, Location, Status, Movies, Music, Interests, etc. from MySpace to use dynamically in a Flash layout?

My best guess is a little PHP scripting will be needed.

Any and all suggestions appreciated.
Thanks!
