TypeError: Error #1085 for dynamic xml created from ASP

[Abdul Gafoor Kiliyamannil]

Hi

I am trying to access an xml file in flash AS3 which is created from server side language (ASP). But unfortunately it throws an error message like

TypeError: Error #1085: The element type "input" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "</input>"

But when I open the page in browser it has written the xml nodes perfectly and I can save the xml and use locally from the flash. There is no error at this time.

And intersting thing is I am not using any tag like <input> </input>

    xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest('http://search.oracle.com/search/feed?q=%22target%20region%22:%22north%20america%22%20%22start%20date...%20&group=EventsRSS&start=1&search_p_custom_att=start%20date&search_p_custom_att=event%20type&search_p_custom_att=city&num=1000'));

    xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, LoadXML);
    xmlLoader.addEventListener (ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, loading);

If I pass this url in browser it returns a proper xml and I can use it inside the flash. I  don't know what is wrong here.

When I trace the PROGRESS of the xml loading it breaks in between and it returns 0 for e.bytesTotal value.

I am sure the xml is created properly but I am not sure where is the problem. My AS3 code also perfect and it doesn't throws any error.

Please give me a solution on this.That would be highly appreciable.

Thanks in Advance.

your xml needs a wrapper node.  does it have one?

[Abdul Gafoor Kiliyamannil]

Yes I have a wrapper node in the xml

My xml starts from <channel> and end with </channel> in the browser. Could you please check the xml path in the URLRequest which I provided

doesn't return xml for me.

copy and paste the xml returned to your complete function.

[Abdul Gafoor Kiliyamannil]

Please run this link and click view source you will get the xml node generated. There is a whitespace in the of the xml. I have used ignoreWhitespace=true and that is not the real issue

http://search.oracle.com/search/feed?q="target region":"north america" "start date":>3/12/2011 | &group=EventsRSS&start=1&search_p_custom_att=start date&search_p_custom_att=event type&search_p_custom_att=city&num=1000

This is a huge xml so I cannot paste here fully. That is why I am giving this link. Please check it and let me your comments.

Thank you for your reply

I just did a little test using the code below, and retrieved the XML without issue... Did you escape the quotes in the request URL?

var u:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var r:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://search.oracle.com/search/feed?q=\"target region\":\"north america\" \"start date\":>3/12/2011 | &group=EventsRSS&start=1&search_p_custom_att=start date&search_p_custom_att=event type&search_p_custom_att=city&num=1000");
u.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, done);
u.load(r);

function done(e:Event):void
{
    var a:XML = new XML(e.target.data);
    trace(a);
}

I noticed you guys are talking about grabbing the XML and getting it to work. I am having trouble with the same error #1085 in a video that should be displaying, but getting that error. Is there a way to do a FireBug type of in browser edit to get the video to play?
