Thanks Mike great post,

I’ve created a really simple game using an RSS feed from Twitter wrapped it around FeedBurner(for security domain issues) and made a video about loading RSS into a flash application.

if anyone wants to watch a video on the topic or check out other AS3 videos check out this link or the site in general.

Hi guys, I don’t know if anyone has stumbled on this problem before. When you use a try … catch block to check the rss.parse(feeddata), an exception is thrown::Unable to parse the string [FRI, 23 JUL 2010 07:27:00] into a date. The internal error was: TypeError #1009: Cannot access a propertyof a null object reference.
I suspect the date format form the syndication is wrong so I wanted to intercept it to correct he date format which would require some xml manipulation. I’d like to know if there is a better way to deal with this problems. Sincewe do not have control over how the feed is syndicated, it would be good to find a way to make the application handle these exceptions graciously rather than blowing up. The source code for the syndication library is not available or is it? I could look into it if I could find the source code. Anyone with any help?

I need to read elements in an RSS 2.0 feed that fall outside the standard RSS 2.0 types and are specified in other namespaces:

Is this lib going to be updated one day ?
It has lot of issues reported but no one seems to care.

(if only I had enough knowledge with rss feeds to fix it myself…)

Is there any way to use this API to POST Atom data to a server in addition to parsing received Atom data? I need to talk to Google’s Data API and it requires that requests be in Atom format as well. Thanks!

I access it in anyway using item.pubDate. i.e. -> instead of having “Mon, 03 Aug 2009 19:18:38 +0000?(from the traced XML), I get “Wed Dec 3 14:18:38 GMT-0500 2008?(from traced item.pubDate) … !
