free source code - RSS Reader AS3

Well, i've finally gotten around to posting some AS3 code...

It's an RSS reader. You can customize the feed, and the text fields are all drawn at runtime, so you can rearrange as needed.

however, one drawback of using flash to create an rss reader is the site you are getting the feed from has to allow your swf to grab it's xml via a crossdomain.xml file.

well, that's not really true... you can work around that by getting the xml via ajax and passing it into your flash. sexy. or you can have your swf call a php script on your domain loads the xml for the rss feed serverside (yes, it's one word, look it up. it's right after gullible), and then because php trusts itself to load data via http, it will then send the rss feed to your swf. sexier.

ahhh the ever useful crossdomain policy - locking down files that are available via http...

enjizoy.
