Subject: [Flashnewbie] Reading and displaying RSS feeds in Flash MX
Hello everyone. I know that the subject of RSS has come up before, but I
need to ask this question anyway.
What I want to do is to build a Flash MX app that will grab an XML RSS feed
from a website and display these news items on my website. I am definitely a
Actionscript newbie, so any help and hand-holding is much appreciated. Here
is the XML structure:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859 (See http://iso-8859.ora-code.com)-1" ?>
- <!--
generator="Movable Type/2.64"
-->
- <rss version="0.91">
- <channel>
<title> </title>
<link> </link>
<description> </description>
<language> </language>
<pubDate> </pubDate>
- <image>
<title> </title>
<url> </url>
<link> </link>
<width></width>
<height></height>
</image>
- <item>
<title> </title>
<link> </link>
<description> </description>
</item>
</channel>
</rss>
Thanks in advance for your assitance.
Bryan
