Flash Based RSS Reader or XML Parser

Learn How to Use XML to Create a Flash Based RSS Reader - PLUS this tutorial includes a short lesson on exporting the RSS reader to Adobe AIR*!!

So how's this work... The Flash file will parse the RSS/XML files and use your own custom "shells" for displaying the information. You can populate the reader with your own RSS feeds are thousands more from other sites! If you aren't familiar with RSS, it stands for Really Simple Syndication, and in basic terms and RSS reader will display a site's new articles and provides quick ways of reading them without visiting the actual site itself.

The tutorial also teaches how to make the Flash reader display HTML tags, for example the reader (on the sale page) displays pictures because the source feed (Yahoo) includes image tags.

Example Flash files are provided for three readers (essentially templates), but the design possibilities are limitless. You choose how it can look to fit your site's branding.

*This Tutorial also includes a separate movie file which describes how to update your version of Flash CS3 for creating an Adobe AIR application. Ultimately this same RSS reader (or any of your previous Flash files) can be published as an installable application for your desktop
