XML Data in to AS3

[alexbcoates]

Hi guys, before i begin please forgive my ignorance/stupidity.

I'm trying to get an XML file (Formula 1 headlines to be exact) onto my published swf sort of like an RSS feed, that you can then scroll down and look at said headlines. I have the spaces ready for the text but i have no idea where to start.

I know this doesn't give you much, but I was hoping that someone would get the general idea?

Thanks in advanced!

Try starting with finding a tutorial.  If you search Google using terms like "AS3 XML tutorial" that should get you off to a good start.  I just checked it myself and see there's quite a few.

if you're loading a local xml file use the urlloader class to load the xml:

var xml:XML;

var ulrloader:URLLoader=new URLLoader();

urlloader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,completeF);

urllloader.load(new URLRequest("yourxml.xml"));

function completeF(e:Event):void{

xml=XML(e.target.data);

//parse your xml and display it

}
