Rss Feeds in flash

I'm working with different flash movies for a client. she has several flash movies playing back to back as advertisement for different retailers. Now she wants me to add Rss Feeds for local weather on the flash movies. Now i never done this before and I'm not really that familiar with AS. I've also googled for the past hours and kept finding how to add Rss feeds to flash WEBSITES not MOVIES (.swf) if anyone could help me out, that would be greatly apreaciated.

Here's a link to a tutorial that should help you. Also, a flash site is a swf file.

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!

RSS Feed in Flash: is it possible?

Can RSS Feeds be inserted into Flash?
I would like to create an animation whose sole purpose is to scroll a feed (like CNN), and that would change the source feed every 10 minutes.
Is this possible in Flash?

But of course RSS Feeds are possible to load in Flash.
You can load the RSS XML as an XML file and work with it that way.
A couple of things to mention:
1. You need to work with a crossdomain poilcy file if you are loading the RSS from a different domain than the SWF (IE - RSS is on feeds.mywebsite.com, and the SWF is on www.mywebsite.com)
Look up how to work with XML files, and crossdomain policies (if necessary).

Problem with loading rss feed in flash

I wrote the following simple code to get started with loading
rss feed:
var document = new XML();
document.onload = myLoadHandler;
document.load("
http://www.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/Business.xml");
trace(document.status);
trace(document.loaded);
trace(success.toString());
But the result I got is always this:
0
false
undefined
It is the same even for local xml files saved in the same
directory as the flash file.
Could someone please help me?
Thanks so much~

It's necessary to discard the white spaces.
Set the ignoreWhite property to true.
document.ignoreWhite = true;

RSS feeds to DMP4400G

Hello,
I have DMM 5.3 setup to manage up to 5 DMP4400G with 5.3 firmware.
How do i setup the DMM to display/scroll RSS feeds on the DMPs.
Do i need to create XML files for this.
I really new to Video
Thanks for the anticipated support

The DMM has a set up for this. If you are using the DMD, you can click on the RSS icon to set up a feed. Content will need to follow the RSS specs. You may also have to set a crossdomain policy for your feed, if you use the built-in functionality of the DMM. The reason is that the DMM renders all rss feeds in flash, and flash is restrictive in terms of what content it allows to be served out. A cross domain policy can be set by putting crossdomain.xml in your root folder of your web server. It should look something like this:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
http://www.adobe.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd">
Good luck!

RSS Feeds display in Flash but not browser

I have a Flash application that pulls an RSS feed and
displays the top 5 titles and descriptions. Everything works fine
when I test the application in Flash but when I try to publish the
file I get the security msg in IE (To help protect your security,
Internet Explorer has restricted this webpage from running scripts
or ActiveX controls that could access your computer...blah blah).
When I test in Firefox the movie clips containing the feeds
simply don't appear (everything else does though). I'm using an
external class file to parse the xml from the feeds and populate
the movie clips with the content. Is there another way I should be
doing it, or is there a publish setting I'm unaware of that will
block external content from being displayed in the player?
Any advice would be appreciated - thanks!

sorry :(
just figured some people would only check certain favorite parts of the forums
public class MyApplet extends JApplet{
JPanel myPanel = null;
Graphics2D _gfx = null;
init(){
_gfx = (Graphics2D)myPanel.getGraphics();
// The usual constructor, initializes / adds components
private void restart(){
drawThread = new DrawThread( gfx );
_drawThread.start();
private class ButtonListener implements ActionListener {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
if( e.getActionCommand() == "Restart" ){
restart();
public class DrawThread extends Thread{
Graphics2D _gfx = null;
public DrawThread( Graphics2D gfx ){
_gfx = gfx;
run(){
// setColor()
// drawString()
// drawRect()
// etc.
// pretty straight forward. not sure what could be wrong...

Flash Deal Of The Day RSS Feed Reader

I need to design a flash widget for MySpace that reads an rss feed and just shows the latest entry. I have seen flash rss feed widgets before but they show all the listings. I need it to check every day at 1:00am for the new one and load it automatically from a third party site (feedburner). I have some knowledge of flash but none in actionscript. I use the Creative Suite CS4. I am a fast learner so please explain in depth so I get the concept.
Thank you in advance for any help.

Ok I went through the tutorial in the video and everything seems to be working alright except I need to include links.
Here is a portion of theXML file that is read:

The AS code just loads the description when clicked on. I need it to include the link located in the link tags.
Here is the As code:
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded);
lb.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, itemChange);
function itemChange(e:Event):void
ta.text = lb.selectedItem.data;
var xml:XML;
function onLoaded(e:Event):void
xml = new XML(e.target.data);
var il:XMLList = xml.channel.item;
for(var i:uint=0; i<il.length(); i++)
lb.addItem({data:il.description.text()[i],
 label:il.title.text()[i]});
loader.load(new URLRequest("http://feeds2.feedburner.com/SizzleTwist"));
I want it to display the description then the blog link. As I mentioned I am just beginning with action script so I have no iead what to do.

Now i wanna embed the option of rss feed in my website, but it is made in Flash. I have already the code in html for this, it would be like this:
 <a type="application/rss+xml" href="nombre de tu canal RSS.xml">
<img src="imagen que quieres que sirva de enlace.gif">
 </a>
But I don't know how to "translate" this code into an actionscript....can anybody help me please!!!???
Thak u for reading

normally, an rss feed is loaded from another domain. it looks like you've copied an rss feed and saved it as a local file.
if you want to use as2 to load a local xml file, use the xml class. if you want to load the cross-domain rss feed, use the loadvars class to load the return from a server-side script (eg, php) that loads the cross-domain rss feed.

Newbie here trying to load an rss feed thru xml in Flash AS 2.0

I have never looked into RSS feeds before, I now have someone that wants Yahoo rss newsfeed embedded in his main.fla. I have an AS 2.0 rss newsreader he sent to me, knowing nothing about RSS I started to look around and eventually got to a point where I went to a Yahoo RSS feed and copied the source page and dropped it in the xml file that came with the feedreader. When saved, published and uploaded to the server the file displays the feed from yahoo fine, but it never update the stories. I would think this has to do with the xml as it is embedded in the page so it can't change so my question is how do I get an rss feed converted to xml to update???
I gotta be missing something here, I hope this isn't too dumb of a question.
RD

Yep, as I suspected a dumb question. All I had to do was replace the xml file name with rssurl and it worked.
sorry guys. I have another question regard this I will post separate.

Why is this RSS Feed not working?

Here is the code I used on the RSS Parser file. Yet when I
open the flash viewer no changes have been made from the original

second version is when I used "attach code" and I can't seem to
delete the original cut & paste.

relatively understandable to a newbie. :)

Please when you have a question post the feed URL, not its contents. For reference, your feed is at
http://gamersscope.emachine08.com/podcast.rss
You have failed to close the category tag, which renders the feed unreadable. You need to add a line as here:
<itunes:category text="Games & Hobbies">
<itunes:category text="Video Games"/>
</itunes:category>
<itunes:owner>
Though it doesn't affect the validity of the feed, your link tag:
<link>http://gamersscope.emachine08.com</link>
leads to a server directory, not a page.

How do I get the RSS feeds to work in iWeb'08 when published to FTP server?

There are so many unresolved questions because I have published to an FTP server (Netfirms). HOWEVER, my next task at hand is to resolve the issue of a non-working RSS feed and download capabilities.
The published website is www.vibrationalvoyages.com.
When using Cyberduck to upload to Netfirms, I have to call the file name vibrationalvoyages.com because Netfirms organizes my files under a main folder called www (I also purchased the .org and .net extensions along with the singular spelling of the title, have forwarded those url's to the .com extension, which means I have different website names under Netfirm's main folder www, all pointing to www.vibrationalvoyages.com).
I have to drop the www. in front of vibrationalvoyages.com when publishing to a folder on my computer so, when Cyberduck uploads the files into the main www folder, they are read correctly and published as www.vibrationalvoyages.com. In Cyberduck, the ftp address to upload is vibrationalvoyage.netfirms.com
Before uploading, I use iTweak to insert the Statcounter tracking codes. Then, I use Rage to optimize the site to cut down on the weight (lots of photos). Then, finally, I get to upload which takes about an hour and a half.
SO, HOW DO I GET THE RSS FEEDS TO WORK AS WELL AS THE OPTION TO DOWNLOAD AN MP3 RECORDED MEDITATIONS? I eventually also want to include the download option of podcasts.
Please help! I am doing the best I can to stay in love with Mac but he is turning out to be a pot load of work and the love affair is wearing a little thin.
I haven't even asked about why iWeb still calls some pages 'The family picnic" or why it switches the url addresses to the individual pages. Probably because in the early stages, I copied an entry rather than just do a new one... but I'll worry about that later. I want to get this 'fixed' first and then I'll address the issue, following Roddy's advice to another writer about installing a flash player, for easy download of the MP3 meditations and for when I record the lessons as podcasts. Until I get this RSS issue resolved, however, podcast downloads are out of the question!

Thank you for checking, Tom,
I'm confused. What do YOU get when you push the feed button? And why is it working on yours and not either of my machines?
Today, my Mac (w/Safari 4) gets the same error message: Safari can’t open the page Safari can’t open the page “feed:http://vibrationalvoyages/vibrationalvoyages.com/DivineLight_Vibrations_Principles_andApplications/rss.xml”. The error is: “The feed could not be loaded because the content is not in a known feed format.”
My little ASUS (with a Linux operating system) gets a screen that says "The requested URL was not found". The URL on that page is http://vibrationalvoyages./vibrationalvoyages.com/DivineLight_Vibrations_Principles_andApplications/rss.xml
On both error messages, the URL I was checking was:
http://www.vibrationalvoyages.com/DivineLight_Vibrations_Principles_and_Applications/Divine_Light_Vibrations_Principles_ andApplications.html
The last URL was, of course, the URL generated by iWeb.
So, my question still is:
HOW CAN I GET MY FEEDS TO WORK PROPERLY? If the problem is there shouldn't be an http:// after feed: then, how do I get iWeb to set it up properly?
Any ideas?

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.

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!

Rss feed in my movie

put the url of my website with the php file and this is the error i
am getting....this is a valid xml fee....i tried 2 ( one being on a
different site of mine working fine )... from looking at the info
below - i need to get with godaddy right and have them enable the
server to allow the calling of the feed ...right ?
Warning: readfile(): URL file-access is disabled in the

/home/content/d/g/g/dggowen/html/mortgagedaily.php on line 6

This points out the need for a robust XSLT library or
component. Does anyone know of such an animal? Having to write code
to parse XML nodes and wrap formatting tags around the returned
data seems fairly ... hmmm ... archaic. And sorting and filtering
that data ... again, just more manual coding for what should be
routine functionality. Sometimes it just isn't possible or
appropriate to flip the data back for a serverside transformation
(particularly desktop AIR apps running offline). Having at least
some minimal set of XSLT functionality would make Flash a much more
appealing medium for me. Anyone have recommendations beyond "code
it yourself"?

I copied the wrong code, it works and loads the feed but I have a number of buttons in the main menu and I want to be able to load a different rss feed for each button?
Here's the code.
btn_Home.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickHome);
function clickHome(e:MouseEvent):void
          gotoAndStop ("START");
//NEWSLIST FORMATTING
var newsListTf:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
newsListTf.font = "Verdana";
newsListTf.color = 339999;
newsListTf.size = 18;
newsListTf.align = "left";
newsList.setRendererStyle("textFormat", newsListTf);
newsList.rowHeight = 100;
newsList.allowMultipleSelection = false;
//newsList.wordWrap = true;
//NEWSDISPLAY TEXT AREA FORMATTING
var rssStoryTf:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
rssStoryTf.font = "Verdana";
rssStoryTf.color = 0x6699CC;
rssStoryTf.size = 22;
rssStoryTf.align = "left";
rssStory.setStyle("textFormat", rssStoryTf);
//READMORE BUTTON FORMATTING
var buttonTf:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
buttonTf.font = "Verdana";
buttonTf.color = 0xFFFFFF;
buttonTf.size = 22
btn_ReadMore.setStyle("textFormat", buttonTf);
//RSS FEED
var rssLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var rssURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest
("http://www.tmz.com/rss.xml");
rssLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, rssLoaded);
newsList.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, selectRssStory);
btn_ReadMore.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goToURL);
rssLoader.load(rssURL);
var newsXML:XML = new XML();
var currentStoryURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest();
newsXML.ignoreWhitespace = true;
function rssLoaded(evt:Event):void
newsXML = new XML(rssLoader.data);
//trace(newsXML);
for(var item:String in newsXML.channel.item) {
//newsList.addItem({label: newsXML.channel.item[item].pubDate.substr(0, 16)
//+": " + newsXML.channel.item[item].title } );
newsList.addItem({label: newsXML.channel.item[item].title.substr(0, 40)
+" ..." } );
newsList.selectedIndex = 0;
//FIRST LOAD
currentStoryURL = new URLRequest(newsXML.channel.item[0].link);
rssStory.htmlText = newsXML.channel.item[0].description;
function selectRssStory(evt:Event):void
rssStory.htmlText = newsXML.channel.item[evt.target.selectedIndex ].description;
currentStoryURL = new URLRequest(newsXML.channel.item[evt.target.selectedIndex
