Flex Accordion Rss Reader
Update: RSS Reader With Project File as requested by Sidd and Johann. (Project file for Flash Developer)
Are you looking for a rss reader ? A simple one ? And the source also ? Oh, you like flex ? There you go!On new developments of Masterfoot webaplication and to involve even more all Teams participating in the football action, we installed a Feed Reader so they could setup their blog on the site so other teams can easily now news about them.I looked for a simple reader in flex, openlaszlo or even javascript. Google AJAX Feed API didn’t really worked as it required a API Key for directory an each team as a page under the respective tournament their playing.Most Flex examples were more than I needed, like a full aggregater. I just wanted a fun and simple feed reads for one RSS only and with fixed height.Nothing better than start from an example and build it yourself.The end component was a very nice RSS reader with an accordion interface where you can set the Feed’s URL and the number of post to show. It uses adobed’s xmlsyndication.There was another problem. Cross-Domain is always difficult, but we worked around it with a proxy so every blog Rss would be presented on the team page.Here is the RssReader Package with the Source and the SWF file on the Bin directory.It accepts two parameters on the URL parameters:
- blog_rss : the Feed’s URL
- post : number of posts to appear
Here it is runing:Have fun!
