Importing RSS with HTML in AS3

Question

I succesfully imported RSS in Flash... now in flash i have
<title>
<link>
and <description>
I want to Display in a List component the Title and the Description, and on click a textfield displays the HTML text grabbed from the Link...
Here's my code
var rssLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
    var rssURL:URLRequest =
         new URLRequest("http://www.parliamocidicalcio.it/rss/xml/RSS2.0/category/34-seriea.html");
    rssLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, rssLoaded);
    rssLoader.load(rssURL);
    var rssXML:XML = new XML();
    rssXML.ignoreWhitespace = true;
    function rssLoaded(evt:Event):void {
        rssXML = XML(rssLoader.data);
        for(var item:String in rssXML.channel.item) {
            liLog.addItem(
                      {label: rssXML.channel.item[item].pubDate.substr(0, 16) +
                    ": " + rssXML.channel.item[item].description } );
    function selectLog(evt:Event):void {
        var list:XMLList =
                    rssXML.channel.item[evt.target.selectedIndex ].children();
   var item:XML;
        for(var i = 0; i<list.length(); i++)
            if(list[i].name() == "description")
            { i++; break; }
    item = list[i].children()[0];
    var LinkLoader:String = rssXML.channel.item[evt.target.selectedIndex].link;
    var textLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
    var textReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest(LinkLoader);
    textLoader.load(textReq);
        taLog.htmlText =  textLoader.data;
        //taLog.htmlText = item.toString();
    liLog.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, selectLog);
    liLog.rowHeight = 90;
And there's another problem... the <description> contains an <img src="xxx">... AS doesn't read HTML so it displays the code... is there a solution to remove <img src"xx"> from <description> when importing in flash? And to remove it and display the image?
