[flexcoders] Re: New to Flex, and mxml and getting an error trying to use RSS
Hi, thanks for the help. Everything seems to be working fine and I am getting the data in my grid, appreciated. -Malik --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Franck de Bruijn [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Malik, I have been able to reproduce your error.

I think we were a little bit put on the wrong foot thinking your problem was a runtime error, but it appears to be a compile time error. Try to be more specific next time.
