Subject: Rss-xml feed import into flash?

Hi all,

I want to implement hourly rss/xml weather data into my flash application.
I get this back from a rss url push :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"  ?><rss
version="2.0"><channel><title>Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, Netherlands
Weather</title><link>http://www.rssweather.com/icao/EHAM/wx.php</link

I¹m capable filtering xml nodes and properties but here it¹s a combination
from xml/rss and html tables.
How can i filter out for e.g. The table elements from the tables with the
id¹s : humidity, windspeed etc ??

Any help tips ?? Should I make php app and write/split data into mysql or a
txt file and import it back into flash ?
But I think i can import it directly ???
