I’m working on a flash movie which will display the macromedia developer center rss feed.

Everything is hunky-dorey so far. I can get the feed into my movie and I’m  
busy pulling out the nodes I want.

the only problem I see so far is that the attributes tags on a lot of the nodes are like this:

\<rdf:li rdf:resource="[http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/etc."](http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/etc.%22)\>

and

\<item rdf:about="[http://www.macromedia.com/etc."](http://www.macromedia.com/etc.%22)\>

when I try to target that attribute “rdf:about” or “rdf:resource”, I get syntax errors because of the “:” in there.

has anybody run into this? Am I stupid for thinking I can do this with flash? I’ve done other stuff like this with plain old xml and had no problem!

Help!
