Hey all - confused a bit by how best to use namespace.
I've got a flex application and am using an rss parser in an external
class.
The rss has 2 different namespaces (it's the brighcove rss). I'm
assuming I put the namespaces variables in the class -- and am parsing
the items into a variable called 'episodes' -- how then do I get the
needed elements I'd need? Class and example of xml item:
XML RSS ITEM:
<item>
<title>PGA - "The Old Lions Roar"</title>
