hey hey! new here and have what is hopefully [but unlikely] and easy question.
i am trying to display the contents of an RSS feed within a .swf i have found
several places with instructions on how to do this.
so far i have
[Q]
var my_xml = new XML();
my_xml.onLoad = function(success){
if (success){
trace(this);
}
}
my_xml.load("http ://www .my site.com/rss.xml");
[/Q]
is this correct? or am i way off.
secondly once i have done this how do actually get the feed to display within
the movie? [everyone seems to leave that out]
this is probably way more complicated than i had hoped. thanks in advance for
the help! |

Looks good so far. How you display is up to you - it's just text... stick
the data in fields, move clips around based on some value, etc. FWIW the
onLoad method of the XML class, in Help, has a nice example of doing
something with the incoming data.

Like I said, have a look at the onLoad method of the XML class.
In the example is something like:
if ((myLoginReply_xml.firstChild.nodeName == "packet") {
So, you test to see if the nodeName is "packet". You could just as well
place it in a field:
myRoot.myField.text = myLoginReply_xml.firstChild.nodeName;
