So I built an RSS/XML reader in flash that is reading this xml file  
[http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/newsfeed/rss.xml](http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/newsfeed/rss.xml)

Now as you can see there are certain titles with that ugly tag \<cite\>\</cite\>

How do i parse the XML values so I can remove those \<cite\> tags in flash when flash reads the titles. I dont want them to appear.

And better yet, is there a way I can get them to instead of remove the \<cite\> tags but make the words in between Italicized?
