Flex 2 RSS

Hello, im building a website for a company that would like
the use of RSS feeds in a flex app. However, I created the flex app
perfectly fine, and it works on my computer.
But when I upload it to my webserver and run it, the flex
loads, but the RSS doesnt load.
I've done some research regarding this, and all i've found
was Cross-Domain issues, but crossdomains.xml doen't work for me at
all.
I really really need some help in this area.
if anybody could assist, that would be great!
Thanks! :D

Absolutly not,
heres the feed (from blogger)

I later converted it from Atom to RSS, which wouldent effect
anything. It still worked on my computer.
And heres my crossdomain.xml file :)
<?xml version="1.0"?>

RSS Feeds in Flex

i have a page that displays live rss feeds. The thing is that, it works correctly when the project is just a Flex Project and run as a flex application. But when i create a Flex project that runs on a server (Tomcat 5.5) with Blaze DS, the rss feeds are not available any more.
Thanks Ravi

Hi there,
I think that you are missing a crossdomain.xml file. It's a policy file that tells the application that "it's ok to read data from location X". Read up here:

Flex 2 Wordpress Blog RSS

I find it EXTREMLY hard to belive, that wordpress doesn't
support the use of Flex2 RSS.
The only reason I find this, is because whenever I try to
call data from my wordpress blog it won't work.
MY OBJECTIVE IS SIMPLE!!!!!
Get the RSS From -
http://grahamtt.wordpress.com/feed/
Parse it into a simple Flex Blog Reader/RSS reader app(All
this is completly done)
Whenever I try to run my app on my computer it works, but on
my server IT DOESNT.
Heres is my COMPLETE code:
Link -
http://pastebin.ca/586156
The reason I use -
http://atom2rss.semiologic.com/?atom=http%3A%2F%2Fgrahamtt.wordpress.com%2Ffeed%2F
instead of -
http://grahamtt.wordpress.com/feed/
Is because Flex 2 doesn't read Atom (as far as I know). And
that's the same thing, I just used the converter here:
http://atom2rss.semiologic.com/
Can somebody PLEASE explain to me how to set up a Proxy
properly? And get my code working?
It's crucial for my job that I find out how to read data from
wordpress blogs in a Flex App.
HELP ME PLEASE!!!!

yea, I've tried that (too what I understand them saying) and
it didnt work.
I downloaded the proxy.php and uploaded it to the directory
of my swf, but it still wont work. I also tried including the php
in proxy.php into the actual page that used the swf, and nothing
worked.
:/

Need help in displaying a feed within my flex app

Thank You

I did try HTTPService but the problem that I was seeing was that I would need to push the information into a datagrid and that really doesn't help me witth presentation of the blog posts.
What if I create a custom component that takes the RSS feed and parses it into sections like so:
Title
Description
Link
Where lets say the title is like so:
[Bindable]
 public var title:String; <-- this is where I get stuck
<s:Label x="0" y="80"
 text="{title}"/>
I would like to also have that title wrapped in a url so that when the person is looking at our RSS they can click either the title or the read more link
What else can i do?

Problem with running exe in flex

Hi
I have made an flex application which reads dynamic xml data
through RSS feed.I tested the swf in browser its working fine and
data is updated on the application at regular intervals, then i
created its exe through flash player 9 and tested.
It runs and initially shows the current data but it does not
updated at regular intervals as was done in browser and thus does
not reflect any changes at application.
What should i do to make my standalone exe to show the
changes in coming data on the application.
pLease help.
Thanks in advance.

thanx for the nice explanation Jed, but it works fine in the
case of browser but when i make the exe from the projector it it
wont work properly. i.e xml data is not updated then.
the object holding the xml data is xmllist and Http service
is used for getting the xml data from the feed.also the xml file is
at localhost.
I'm also attaching the code and scores.xml .
Thanks in advance

How to display a simple rss feed?

Hi,
I've build a simple application that has a httpservice called rss that calls "http://www.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/GlobalBusiness.xml" and retrieves the rss feed. Under test operation I can see it returning the feed.
When the init() function is called the httpservice is called and passed to a datagrid.
However, when I run it I get the following fault.
Security error accessing url
Destination: DefaultHTTP
In the console I get the following messeage:
Warning: Domain www.nytimes.com does not specify a meta-policy. Applying default meta-policy 'master-only'. This configuration is deprecated. See http://www.adobe.com/go/strict_policy_files to fix this problem.
Error: Request for resource at http://www.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/GlobalBusiness.xml by requestor from http://localhost:8888/Newsroom-debug/Newsroom.swf/[[DYNAMIC]]/4 is denied due to lack of policy file permissions.

Connection to http://www.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/GlobalBusiness.xml halted - not permitted from http://localhost:8888/Newsroom-debug/Newsroom.swf
[Unload SWF] /Newsroom-debug/Newsroom.swf
I have checked different posts online and in this forum describing crossdomain.xml and settings in the flash player global settings to resolve this issue, but I can for some reason not get it to work.
I want to be able to take rss feeds from any site and display them in a simple datagrid?
Any suggestions?
Below is the application code.
Br,
Karsten!

 </mx:columns>
 </mx:DataGrid>
</s:Application>

OK.
Tried out your suggestion and it works!
Thanks saisri2k2
1) I created an http service which calls a php file:
<mx:HTTPService
 id="rssNewYorkTimes"
 url="php/newyorktimes.php"
 result="rssNewYorkTimes_resultHandler(event)"
 resultFormat="e4x" />
2) The php file then gets the feed and passes it back to the rssNewYorkTimes_resultHandler:
<?php
$feed = 'http://www.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/GlobalBusiness.xml';
$rawfeed = @file_get_contents($feed);
print $rawfeed;
?>
3) the resulthandler then processes the feed and puts it in an arraycollection that can be passed to the datagrid:
protected function rssNewYorkTimes_resultHandler(event:ResultEvent):void
 var xmlList:XMLList = event.result.channel.item as XMLList;
 for each(var item:XML in xmlList)
 rssCollection.addItem({title: item.title, description:item.description, source:item.link});
 buildRss();
Thanks also to Chris Black for his post which explains in detail how this trick is done!

A big newbie flex question.

Where do I put it all?
I've done many of the basic tutorials, I have a pretty good
idea on how
to create simple flex projects. I am now trying to design a
real,
functioning project based on one of our most important,
internal, web
applications.
I find myself a little over my head. Any help would be
greatly appreciated.
I am building what is basically a calendar of events. I'm
currently
using flash remoting to pull the event data with ColdFusion
from a
database. I will have to main 'views' to start with. One is a
full
calendar display of all the events for a month. The second is
a drill
down that will display all the details of an individual
event, with a
panel on the left displaying other events on the same date.
I've built most of the pieces of this, but I'm having trouble
putting it
together in a manageable layout. To date, I've pretty much
put
everything into a single MXML file but this is getting quite
unwieldy.
However when I try to pull pieces out into custom controls I
start
having great difficulty dealing with the data and the various
view pieces.
So, one has managed to wade through all that exposition, what
is a good
way to do this? Where do I put the data access logic. I
presume in my
root application file. But, if I do that, how do I access it
from my
various view pieces? How do I connect all the dots?

Nope, no signatures in what is sent to the RSS feeds for us

Thanks for the link. I have added it to the others I am

Intergrating RSS Feeds into Flash Builder 4...

I am very new to Flash builder 4 and I want to make an application where the app user can read through all the RSS Feeds and get updates everytime their connected to the internet. I am making this for the BlackBerry Playbook if that makes a difference and also can it be really simple instructions like I said I'm very new to this.

Ok, I think you might have your message title worded wrong. I think you want RSS feeds in a FLEX application, not Flash Builder 4 itself??
I, myself, am trying to implement an RSS feed into my application but have other priorities unfortunately.
The only bookmark I find in my list is this:
http://insideria.com/2009/04/flex-101-consuming-a-simple-rs.html
^ That might help you get started. I cant find any other examples in my bookmarks, but if I do I'll post them here.
OR, if I get my own code up and working (which should be within the next week hopefully), I'll post that up too. Cheers!

Flex framework - software needed question

hi, and thank you for your replies in advance.
i'm a bit new to flex framework and flash.
I want to know what software and languages I would need for the following website or web application
I have some knowledge with programing and markup languages like:
c/c++, java
html/css/javascript
php/sql
Professional design experience with
Photoshop/illustrator
What i want to achieve is:
Build a rich internet application.
Unified layout that will start fast. very small loading time (less than 3 seconds including the background and menus).
I need a search and category filter (get input text and check boxes and send them to database and retrieve the query)
When an icon or button is clicked, data is dynamically retrieved and automatically updated (animation on the whole page or text/image area when an icon or button is clicked) (no page refresh)
Some caching or background downloads when the site is idle, but give priority whenever an icon is clicked.
Some animated charts and site stats.
Some animated images where you can click on a portion of the image to trigger some text/images on to the image like tips and help
Site updates send subscription members (rss, email, facebook, twitter)
If there is an easy way to update the site, rss, email, facebook account, and twitter account at the same time
Optional (I want to create a discussion board (forum like) integrated in the site)
Sorry about the rambling.
Now for the questions:
If I already have Flash cs5, do I need:
1-      Flex4 sdk
2-      Flash builder 4 (does it offer something not included in flash cs5, or is it just a better interface for programing)
3-      What does flash catalyst do
4-      If I’m not streaming video do I need the flash servers
5-      Do I need flash services
6-      When I finish the web application. How much work would it take to make a mobile (Android or iPhone maybe) and a desktop (adobe air) versions. Is it as easy as making a file export in different format, or just minor tweaks to make it work?
7-      Last thing, what references or books do I need?

As a new Flex user maintaining part of an existing project, I would say to be very cautious.
I haven't used robotlegs, but attempting to learn flex and robotlegs and convert part of an existing project to use it is a recipe for disaster.
In my experience companies are interested in quick results when in maintenance mode on existing projects and won't be interested in excuses when the new developer messes up an existing project by trying to introduce a framework they know nothing about.
Get comfortable with basic Flex. If you want to try RobotLegs, create a test project to play with.
Don't add robotlegs to a live project when you are not sure of either flex or the framework. Or if you do, start looking for your next job!

RSS feed for AMP missing Video 03?

First off, thanks for a great, and free, service!
However, is it just me or is the RSS feed missing Video 03,
Creating a Flex Builder workspace and project? I can of course view
this in the regular online player but would love to have it with
the rest of my offline AMP content.

Yes, video 3 is missing.
Don't know if I am the only one here, but I downloaded ALL of
them over a days time and guess what.... I only have 6 downloaded
now. Happened twice.
WTF?????? Why does AMP delete the vids??
I have downloaded them and moved them out of the app
data/adobe/local/...cache folder where they live so it don't get
deleted again. I also have downloaded them with Flashgot.
Here is the download link for number 3. Who knows when adobe
will get them online and who knows how long AMP will keep them for.

First time flexer long time flasher

Hi im having a bit of trouble getting an xml file that uses
namespaces parsed into my first flex app, the basic structure of
the xml is as follows::
<rss version='2.0' xmlns:IJKGD='
http://www.betadesigns.co.uk/RSS/'>
--------other stufff-------------contianer etc-----
<item>
<title>a title</title>
<description>a description</description>
<IJKGD:grammar>
<IJKGD:grammarID>1</IJKGD:grammar>
</IJKGD:grammar>
</item>
i can get the first two tags into the app ie title and
description however i cant get the< IJKGD:grammar> tag to
display this is the code i have attached to a text box
<mx:TextArea x="20" y="235" width="400"
htmlText="{dgGrammar.selectedItem.IJKGD:grammar.IJKGD:grammarID}"
/>
however this throws up an error:: unfortunately it displays
some characters in chinese dont know why.
Severity Description Resource In Folder Location Creation

Any help would be much appreciated thanks in advance

Hi,
I think you have to create a namespace to access that
property
something like
var ns:Namespace = new Namespace("IJKGD", "
http://www.betadesigns.co.uk/RSS");
htmlText.selectedItem="{dgGrammer.selectedItem.ns::grammer.grammerID}"

Flex Charting

I have recently purchased Flex Charting and added the serial
number to the License Management section in Flex Builder 2 and now
all of my charts that I have created previously are not displaying
at all. I am getting an error telling me this

However the "refresh" option does nothing to solve the
problem. Any idea what is wrong?

What is the result format you're setting on your HTTPService

This suggests that your HTTPService result is coming back in
a format where
you can't just get the properties off of it. You may need to
set the result
format to e4x, and since it is rss you may need to use one or
more
namespaces.

Help with RSS

Hi guys
Basically, I would like to create a panel for Photoshop CS4
getting an RSS feed of my video tuts. I know how to put the video
window but I would like the RSS links to show the video once
clicked. Kind of like what Scott Kelby did
HERE
but instead of showing the blog post, it would be the video that
would play.
On the back end, would I have to create a separate feed and
blog page with direct video links?
Thanks!

If you know action script and MXML, you can modify the RSS
sample in the Flex Builder.
Use the VideoDisplay control show the video.
