Not sure if the data reloads on its own or not after a given interval? Haven't been able to test it yet since its still the weekend. The data from Yahoo! Finance is only updated every 15 minutes, so it really doesn't need to update at an interval shorter than that, but if it doesn't already reload on its own, it would be a nice feature rather than having to reload the page to refresh the data.

15 minutes = 900 000 milliseconds

Can't say for sure about that. It's rather the ticker itself that decides if it reloads or not, not the script. I can add that function though, just you need to know for sure if it reloads or not by itself, cause otherwise it'll be useless

I'll monitor throughout the day to see if it updates or not on its own and post on the status.

EDIT: After watching it for a while, the ticker DOES NOT update on its own. After about an hour the quotes the ticker was displaying were old.

EDIT: The original ticker at yahoo! finance DOES update on its own.

Don't really know why.
I had to force the ticker to update by updating the whole flash, so now it has a flicker effect, can't really prevent it, sry

That's ok. I'd rather have the data up to date with minimal inconvenience than have to reload the whole page. Plus the default interval is 15 minutes, so its barely even an issue unless you edit the script to make it reload more often.

Thanks for the update!
