Embedding flash probably isn’t going to be your best bet, althought you might be able to get that to work with the (free) ActiveX plugin.
Scraping a weather page for info and displaying it is a fun trick. See this script (which I copied and pasted from the user manual)
[code]# This function would query Yahoo Weather for the temperature at
the given zipcode and find the temperature using a regular expression
def getTempAt(zipCode):
import fpmi
import re #Regular Expression library
response = fpmi.net.httpGet("http://xml.weather.yahoo.com/forecastrss?p=" + str(zipCode))
# NOTE - if you've never seen regular expressions before, don't worry, they look
# confusing even to people who use them frequently.
pattern = re.compile('.*?<yweather:condition (.*?)/>', re.DOTALL)
match = pattern.match(response)
if match:
subText = match.group(1)
temp = re.compile('.*?temp="(.*?)"').match(subText).group(1)
return int(temp)
else:
fpmi.gui.errorBox("Yahoo weather service changed")
return -1[/code]
Also, notice that linking to this image brings in an updated radar map for california:

Hope this helps,
