I am having trouble parsing XML data with Actionscript 3.0. I am trying to pull an .xml file into Flash and format the content in the form of an RSS reader. I have tried several formats, but they either separate the data by title (with a Combo Box that allows you to select which post you would like to read and then pulls that post's information ie. description into a dynamic text area below the combo box) or they don't allow me to access my .xml file. I've read about cross-domain policy files, but I don't think I need to use one since I am pulling the feed in from Feedburner.
Does anyone have more information or a format they use to do this? I will be happy to post the codes that I have tried, but I'm not sure which direction to go (if I should reformat the one that separates the data with a combo box, or if I should try to use the more simple RSS Parser (http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/?navID=samples) that Adobe provides to pull in my feed).
