Actionscript 2.0 to 3.0

[quadboi]

Basically,

I want to convert the following code to actionscript 3.0, therefore I can use external data (eventually want people to just be able to edit a notepad file, and the news headlines will show in the video) - only AS3 does this i think!

This basically is a flashvideo on the homepage, which links to the news section, but rolls through a few headlines. - Need it to be be easily editable for people working here, therefore I think it needs to grab external data! - If anyone can point this aswell in the right direction that would be great.


So the brains of ocuk please help!!!

if (counter == 1) {
txt1 = "Hull FC seek to maximise their return...";
url_link = "/news/";
} else if (counter == 2) {
txt1 = "Chill Factore takes to the slopes with CRM...";
url_link = "/news/";
} else if (counter == 3) {
txt1 = "Ipswich Town sign up for the Green's";
url_link = "/news/";
} else if (counter == 4) {
txt1 = "Soccerex plan to improve their game by the power of 4...";
url_link = "/news/";
} else if (counter == 5) {
txt1 = "Leyton Orient communicate with the power of 4...";
url_link = "/news/";
} else if (counter == 6) {
txt1 = "Microsoft endorse Green 4 Solutions with Gold Partner Status...";
url_link = "/news/";
} else if (counter == 7) {
txt1 = "Green 4 delivers CRM to Norwegian football clubs...";
url_link = "/news/";
} else if (counter == 8) {
txt1 = "Green 4 is odds-on favourite for Jockey Club Racecourses...";
url_link = "/news/";
}
