I've been trying to do something for work the last couple of days and I'm banging my head against my desk because I just can't wrap my head around actionscript.

I need to use the following XML in a 300x250 ad placement:

Code: Select all

<deal id="24"> 
  <title>$20 for $40 worth of food & drinks at Simply Fondue</title> 
  <advertiser_name>Simply Fondue - Orange County</advertiser_name> 
  <link>http://dealoftheday.ocregister.com/daily_deals/24</link>

</deal>

Not sure any of you have flash experience, but sweet jesus I hate Actionscript

I know about XML, but not much on ActionScript. Is it an XML problem, or are you trying to figure out how to write actionscript to read the XML?

It's trying to write the Actionscript to read the XML.

Surely Actionscript has some libraries for parsing XML?

It does, but I've never really worked with XML and AS, so kind of a steep learning curve for this particular assignment. My boss just ended up freelancing it out.
