A very simple RSS feed reader that displays links off to your blog created using Actionscript 2.

stop();
//create the xml object
xmlLoad = new XML();
xmlLoad.load(_root.feed);
xmlLoad.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlLoad.onLoad = function(success){
//if successful
if(success && xmlLoad.status == 0){
//reset the text
xml_text="";
//list of items
var xmlItems:XML = xmlLoad.firstChild.firstChild;
for (var m = 0; m<xmlItems.childNodes.length; m++) {
//grab each item
if (xmlItems.childNodes[m].nodeName == "item") {
for (var n = 0; n<xmlItems.childNodes[m].childNodes.length; n++) {
if (xmlItems.childNodes[m].childNodes[n].nodeName == "link") {
//grab the link of the item
itemlink=xmlItems.childNodes[m].childNodes[n].firstChild.toString();
}
if (xmlItems.childNodes[m].childNodes[n].nodeName == "title") {
//grab the title of the item
itemtitle=xmlItems.childNodes[m].childNodes[n].firstChild.toString();
}
}
//add the current item
xml_text+= "<a href=\""+itemlink+"\">"+itemtitle+"</a><br><br>";
}
}
}
//set the text
xml_holder.text = xml_text;
}

The only library item needed …

Here I have all of the code necessary to setup a simple AS2 flv player using progressive download. All of this script is in the first frame of the movie with the appropriate movie clips available on the stage.

First, We setup all of our controls including our Play/Pause button, Rewind, Scrubbing, and volume controls.

stop();

globalsound = new Sound();
globalsound.setVolume(100);
volume_slide.volume_slider._x = volume_slide.volume_bar._width-volume_slide.volume_slider._width;

b_volume.onRelease = function() {
if(globalsound.getVolume() == 100){
b_volume.gotoAndStop(2);
globalsound.setVolume(0);
}else if(globalsound.getVolume() == 0){
b_volume.gotoAndStop(1);
globalsound.setVolume(100);
}
}

//volume scrubbing
var pTop_volume:Number = volume_slide.volume_slider._y;
var pLeft_volume:Number = 0;
var pBottom_volume:Number = volume_slide.volume_slider._y;
var pRight_volume:Number = volume_slide.volume_bar._width-volume_slide.volume_slider._width;

volume_slide.volume_slider.onPress = function() {
startDrag("volume_slide.volume_slider", false, pLeft_volume, pTop_volume, pRight_volume, pBottom_volume);
