I am trying to make a very simple rss reader to display news feeds. All I really want to do is have a text box display the first item of the feed, wait for a moment, then display the next one. I've been searching around and can't find any decent tutorials on the subject.

Making an XML news reader based off of senocular Squirrel XML news.
I'm using Fuse and wanted to target the dynamic text and or background portions of the headline section.
However, this movie clip is attached to the menu_mc so I'm stumped as to what I should exactly target for the fuse sequence (or any mx.transition/zigo engine based code-tweening process for that matter).
I've attached the files in a .zip for people to look at (and possibly conquer my problem!

ActionScript Code:
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded);

imgLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onImgLoaded);

As you can see there is a MovieClip in the Library: NEWS_item. The Clip has a textfield and a Imag field(a MovieClip). While the text is passed in the text fields of the NEWS_item Clip there should be afterwords the photos be placed with addChild(imgLoader). But online the last Image appears. What is wrong here?Does someone have experience with xml readers an images ?

View 2 RepliesFor my class' final project, I created a little eBay search tool platform. It
1) performs a search (and the link generates affiliate coding so commissions would result if an eBay affiliate used this application on their website),
2) it shows a few eBay-related news feeds, and
3) it shows some beginner's videos showing how to buy on eBay.
Playing the swf as a movie on the desktop, within Flash, works fine.However, since I've published the swf into a webpage, the search function and one of the RSS feeds do not work. My application is at: [URL]I've read about crossdomain policy issues, but I'm stumped about that. Using FireBug, I see an error message:"NetworkError: 404 Not Found - [URL]This is the domain where I'm calling the RSS feed. Because this domain does NOT have a crossdomain.xml policy in place, does that mean that no matter what I do, I'll never be able to draw from it? I've set up a crossdomain.xml file in my website's root and it consists solely of:
Actionscript Code:
<cross-domain-policy><allow-access-from domain="www.dongarber.com"/><allow-access-from domain="dongarber.com"/></cross-domain-policy>
And, the URL I use to connect to eBay's api is:
"http://rss.api.ebay.com/ws/rssapi?FeedName=SearchResults&dfsp=32&from=R6&nojs pr=y&output=RSS20&saaff=afepn&siteId=0&afepn=53358 27058&customid=flashfinalprojectRSSFeed&satitle="+searchTermBox.text+"&saprclo="+minAmt.text+"&saprchi="+maxAmt.text+"&fbfmt=1&sabfmts=0&sascs=0&fsop=33&fsoo=2";
This works when I cut and paste a sample URL into the browser, say, when I substitute a search term minAmt and maxAmt into that gobbledegook. The search never returns anything when this app lives on a published html page...
I am new at Flash and I put together this code (below) it's for an RSS Feed which seems to be working fine, however, I would like to have it display in a scroll box and I can't seem to find the way to do it. I need to create several widgets and once I learn how to create the first one I will be able to design them the way I need them.
Code: Select allvar holder:Sprite = new Sprite();
addChild(holder);
init();
function init():void{
var urlLoader : URLLoader = new URLLoader ();
urlLoader.addEventListener( Event.COMPLETE, OnRSSLoaded, false, 0, true );

I want to pull in data from a rss / atom feed into flash and show a movieclip everytime the feed is updated. Most tutorials I find are about displaying the information. I want real time movieclips to display if and when the rss / atom feed is updated without any of the information from the actual feed displayed.
View 0 RepliesI have developed a twitter API in Flash Professional CS4. It works fine when it plays in the flash player locally. But when I publish the file and play it in a browser it asks for settings to be modified. Since those were the local settings I have modified them and played the file in browser and it worked fine. when I upload the file to server and embed the swf into a html file and try to play it from the server nothing happens. The API doesn't load the feeds from twitter site. The display is always blank.Possible solutions I have tried.....

I've been putting together a script to parse twitter feeds via xml, add the html code to link any hyperlinks in the post and throw each resulting post into one of two textareas (box0 & box1). Unfortunatly it is printing all 3 (the amount so far posted) posts into each text box. How to fix this code to
a) put 1 post per box and
b) limit the amount of posts it pulls from the xml
Code:
function checkWord(word:String):String {
if(word.indexOf("http:") == 0) {
// This word starts with "http:" at index 0 (the beginning of the word)
// Wrap it in html href (anchor) tags:
return "<a href='" + word + "'>" + word + "</a>";

I am trying to figure out how to parse a Flickr RSS feed to feed it into a swf to make a pretty flash interface for my photoblog. I am thinking it would be ideal if the image url was in its own element, and the description for the image was in a sibling element. However this is not the case. The problem I am running into is that the image for each post is in the same element as the description (in the content element). The image is simply wrapped by a normal html img tag. Does anyone know how I would pull the image url out of the description during parsing so that I could feed them into flash elements on the stage (one mc for image, another mc with a dynamic text box for the image description)?[code]
