Problem Summary： Once I want to display a series article of Flex performance from InsideRIA(www.insideria.com) in my blog. I recognized that the amount of the articles is increasing. I should keep the links dynamically. However, I am not the provider of the blog system, so I cannot modify the codes to meet my requirement. Luckily, I can embed SWF in my blog articles. So, I just need to develop a simple RSS reader in SWF format.

Solution Summary: I do not want to parse the RSS myself. It’s a hard work to deal with. I tried to find some open source library of RSS parsing in programmed by action script 3.0. Googled for many, I got the syndication library(http://code.google.com/p/as3syndicationlib/) at last.

Use the syndication library to parse Atom and all versions of RSS easily. This library hides the differences between the formats so you can parse any type of feed without having to know what kind of feed it is.

The detailed information will be found in the project home(http://code.google.com/p/as3syndicationlib/). Then, I started to develop my own RSS reader
