Hi everyone
I have made a RSS reader in flash that takes the latest news from a xml feed
and puts all the titles in a list component.

What I would like to do is create a filter so that any titles containing a
specific word (e.g. carrot.) get filtered out of the list.

I would also like to be able to filter the feed so that only titles with that
word in it get through.

I need to do it both ways, so that I can have 1 list without any "carrot"
titles and one with only titles containg "carrot"

any ideas?

One way that this could be done is make and array of words to filter and when
you scan/read the nodes put a conditional statement that checks against all the
words in that array to see if it matches. If it has a match, put it in the
other column.
