Adobe Air Based RSS Reader Part 2 of 2

The second and final part of building an adobe air based RSS reader.
Here I show you how to parse the RSS XML with actionscript 3 and place it into xhtml that you will load via an HTMLLoader object.

You should allready be familiar with CSS and XHTML (divs etc.).

You should also be familiar with AS3 and xml along with arrays and loops.

This is excellent. Thank you so much! Quick question though, how can I get the generated anchors to open in the browser rather than within my AIR application?

[watashiwakichigai]

instead of building a javascript on click, use href="insert link here"

you may also want to use target="_blank"

@watashiwakichigai That sounds so obvious and I can't believe I didn't think to do that.

But unfortunately after trying, it does not work. It is unable to launch a browser window and does nothing at all instead. I've traced my statement to ensure it's properly creating the link, and it is. But clicking the anchor does nothing.

You can also try omitting the target target="_blank" , OR possibly instead of doing the document.location you could do window.open('site address')

It has been a while since I made this tut. Sorry for not nailing you question on the first answer.

I would also love to see your final product.
