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

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   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of malik_robinson Sent: dinsdag 3 januari 2006 8:14 To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] New to Flex, and mxml and getting an error trying to use RSS   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()" >     <mx:HTTPService         id="feedRequest"         url="" href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/">http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/"         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" id="dgPosts" width="400">             <mx:columns>                 <mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Column 1" columnName="col1"/>                 <mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Column 2" columnName="col2"/>             </mx:columns>         </mx:DataGrid>         <mx:TextArea x="20" y="245" width="400" />         <mx:Link x="20" y="300" label="Read Full Post" />     </mx:Canvas>  </mx:Application> -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com YAHOO!
