how to parse and display multi item remote xml in flash 8?

[DavidPlus]

Hi all. there is a remote rss xml file that has 10 items inside it. I wonder how in flash
i can pars and display them on movie just like shown format:

flash movie display format:

-songname1 by artistname1
-songname2 by artistname2
-....
.....

Furthermore,i want to get new data every few seconds since it is dynamic rss xml.
I tried Loading Data from DB tutorial but could not achive my goal.
I be happy if some one show me how this can be done.Thanks

I also want each item to be clicable and it points to imageurl.


remote xml format:

  <playlist>
  <song>
  <artist>artistname1</artist> 
  <name>songname1</name> 
  <image>[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.somesite.com/song_images/pic1.jpg</image>[/URL]

First you need to create an XML object then parse the XML document using the XML object.
