[TYPO3-english] retrieve IDs of content items in FCE?

[Erich Specht]

I'm a newbie to Typo3 and having difficulty accessing data from my Flexible
Content Element.

Is it possible via typoscript to retrieve the unique IDs of tt_news records
that are placed into an FCE?

For example, I have a Flexible Content Element that contains a field of type
Page Content Elements that allow the user to choose tt_news records.  From
typoscript on the main page, can I retrieve the ID of the article that was
selected in that field?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
