i asked this before but no luck getting an answer… let me try again…
from yahoo RSS: this is how i can read the TITLE attribute using xpath in flash:
[COLOR=dimgray]var thedesc = XPathAPI.selectNodeList(this.firstChild, “/rss/channel/item/media:text/p/a/img”);[/COLOR]
[COLOR=dimgray]var thedesc_display = thedesc[0].attributes[“title”][/COLOR]
i can read the TITLE when it is formatted like this in xml:
[COLOR=dimgray]<p>[/COLOR]
[COLOR=dimgray]<a href=“someLINK”>[/COLOR]
[COLOR=dimgray]<img src=“someSRC” align=“left” height=“87” width=“130” alt=“photo” title=“DESCRIPTION OF THE IMAGE” border=“0”/>[/COLOR]
[COLOR=dimgray]</a>[/COLOR]
[COLOR=dimgray]</p>[/COLOR]
but, in xml they have the special characters. “<” is replaced with “<” and so on…
and when <P> is replaced with “<p>” **i can’t get to the title attribute using **COLOR=#696969[/COLOR]… and thus, can not retrive the TITLE data.
is there anything i can do in my flash code… ??? PLASE HELP.
