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

[malik_robinson]

Hi,

I am very new to Flex and trying to try some basic tutorials in the 
help documentation that comes with Flex Builder 2 alpha.

I searched the mailing list/archives trying to find out why I get the 
following error message but to no avail.  The error is below:

The processing instruction target matching [xX][mM][IL] is not 
allowed.

My code is below and is basically from the documentation that comes 
with the flex builder 2 alpha 1 version.  The main difference is I am 
trying to point it as a different url other than the 
weblogs.macromedia.com/mchotin or whatever the exact url is.  I am 
trying to point it at a different URL.

?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8? 
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.macromedia.com/2005/mxml; 
xmlns=*
initialize=feedRequest.send()

Hi Malik,



It looks like your url is not pointing to
a real XML file. I tried your app and I got the message Error #1090: XML
parser failure: element is malformed.



Also be aware that you cannot point to any
arbitrary URL in the WWW, since Flex apps are only allowed to obtain resources
from the server they have been deployed from, unless there is a crossdomain.xml
file present granting you access to the resource.



Cheers,

Franck
