hi,  
I am trying to adapt the News Ticker from the tutorials section to display headlines from the bbc’s technology feed, but when i change the url in the code from

xmlData.load(“[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/swf/news.xml?blarg=](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/swf/news.xml?blarg=)”+new Date().getTime());

to

xmlData.load(“[http://newsrss.bbc.co.uk/rss/newsonline\_uk\_edition/technology/rss.xml?blarg=](http://newsrss.bbc.co.uk/rss/newsonline_uk_edition/technology/rss.xml?blarg=)”+new Date().getTime());

I just get the BBC main headline flashing continuously and it doesn’t cycle through the actual news items.

I think this has something to do with how the xml is being parsed, but have so far been unable to get it right. any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks.
