how to call RSS

[abhikumar]

for this feed:
http://rss.news.yahoo.com/rss/india

how do i call this in my Flash file..for a simple local xml file- the code works and now that im trying to connect it with an external xml file.. does not work becuase the structure is different..

how do i populate a value from the above RSS into my news_txt textfield:

_root.thetitle = this.firstChild.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
news_txt.htmlText = _root.thetitle;

okay- let me try again..
this is the rss feed..
http://rss.news.yahoo.com/rss/topstories

and this is how im trying to read the news title(s) into my "news_txt" textfield:
_root.thetitle = this.firstChild.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
news_txt.htmlText = _root.thetitle;

of course, it is not working-- let me know how to fix this- PLEASE !!
