Open Links

Question

I'm building an rss reader in flash. I have the rss displaying with no problem, the problem is, I need each title to open the web page to a particular site.
The link is the same for every header, so I assumed it wouldn't be that hard, but since I'm very new Flash and followed a tutorial to get this working, I have no idea how to do this
Can somebody look at my Action Script and help me out?
import fl.managers.StyleManager;
var logFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
logFormat.font = "Verdana";
logFormat.size = 10;
logFormat.bold = true;
StyleManager.setStyle("textFormat", logFormat);
var rssLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader ();
var rssURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.vegasdsports.com/feeds/nba.php");
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);
    //trace(rssXML);
    for(var item:String in rssXML.channel.item) {
        liLog.addItem( {label:rssXML.channel.item[item].title} );
for(var item:String in rssXML.channel.item) {
liLog.onRelease = function:void() {
getURL("http://www.vegasdsports.com/feeds/nfl.php");
Thanks in advance

Answer 1

1.  you're publishing for as3, not as2.
2.  the code you posted in this forum is NOT the same as the code in your fla.  specifically, the as2 code you posted is not in the fla and, if it were, you could not publish a swf.  the code in red is as2 code.
import fl.managers.StyleManager;
var logFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
logFormat.font = "Verdana";
logFormat.size = 10;
logFormat.bold = true;
StyleManager.setStyle("textFormat", logFormat);
var rssLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader ();
var rssURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.vegasdsports.com/feeds/nba.php");
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);
    //trace(rssXML);
    for(var item:String in rssXML.channel.item) {
        liLog.addItem( {label:rssXML.channel.item[item].title} );
for(var item:String in rssXML.channel.item) {
liLog.onRelease = function:void() {
getURL("http://www.vegasdsports.com/feeds/nfl.php");
3.  here's your corrected code with links to clicked items:
import fl.managers.StyleManager;
import fl.events.ListEvent;
var logFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
logFormat.font = "Verdana";
logFormat.size = 10;
logFormat.bold = true;
StyleManager.setStyle("textFormat", logFormat);
var rssLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader ();
var rssURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.vegasdsports.com/feeds/nba.php");
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].title,link:rssXML.channel.item[item].link} );
liLog.addEventListener(ListEvent.ITEM_CLICK,clickedLogF);
function clickedLogF(e:ListEvent){
    navigateToURL(new URLRequest((liLog.getItemAt(e.index).link)));
