Reading from XML tutorial

Hey

I was going through tthe Displaying from a XML file tutorial. And i’ve understood the concept of nodes and levels.

I was experiementing with it and I wanted to display an RSS feed from a site to make it the way its supposed to be viewed.

This is the current code I have

function loadXML(loaded) { 
if (loaded) { 
_root.inventor = this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[8].childNodes[2].firstChild.nodeValue; 
_root.comments = this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[8].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
_root.link = this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[8].childNodes[2].firstChild.nodeValue;
name_txt.text = _root.inventor; 
comment_txt.text = _root.comments;
getURL(_root.link);
} else { 
  trace("file not loaded!"); 
} 
} 
xmlData = new XML(); 
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true; 
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML; 
xmlData.load("http://news.bbc.co.uk/rss/newsonline_uk_edition/front_page/rss091.xml");

It works to some extent. Except I have a few questions now.

If the above AS is used in the XML tutorial it kinda works. Displays a heading and as such. However, Id like to know

1- How do i link a piece of text in XML? I want to link the title to its respective link.

2- Is there a way of looping or using an IF statement so that I could display all the titles from the nodes which have the name “title” ?

All help appreciated

Thanks
