Re: [flexcoders] Re: New to Flex, and mxml and getting an error trying to use RSS

the example still works for me today

try this code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2005/mxml " xmlns="*" initialize="feedRequest.send()">
    <mx:HTTPService
        id="feedRequest"
        url="" href="http://weblogs.macromedia.com/mchotin/index.xml"> http://weblogs.macromedia.com/mchotin/index.xml"
        useProxy="false"/>
       
    <mx:Canvas width="100%" height="100%">
        <mx:Label x="20" y="50" text="{ feedRequest.result.rss.channel.title}"/>
        <mx:DataGrid x="20" y="80" width="400" dataProvider="{feedRequest.result.rss.channel.item}" id="dgPosts">
            <mx:columns>
                <mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Posts" columnName="title"/>
                <mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Date" columnName="pubDate"/>
            </mx:columns>
        </mx:DataGrid>
        <mx:TextArea x="20" y="245" width="400" htmlText="{dgPosts.selectedItem.description}"/>
        <mx:Link x="20" y="300" label="Read full post" click="getURL( dgPosts.selectedItem.link);"/>   
    </mx:Canvas>
</mx:Application>

Hi,

I tried pointing it at the following URL:

weblogs.macromedia.com/mchotin

and I received the same error, can you try it using this URL and let me know if you are able to see the result.  This URL should have the crossdomain.xml file in it as this URL is used in a tutorial on the Macromedia/Adobe website.

Thanks for the response.

Malik
