Loading XML in AS3...trying to make a news reader

Hello! I'm hoping someone can point me in the direction of a tutorial that shows how to create a "News Widget" from an XML file. I'm a designer so I know very little code...any help would really be appreciated!

I would like to create a Flash file using AS3 that pulls info from three different nodes in an XML file. The pic below is a screen shot of what I'm trying to accomplish.

Here's an example of my XML:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<rss version="2.0">
<channel><title>kstp.com - MORE NEWS</title>
<item>
<title>State announces details of Minnesota FluLine </title>
<description><![CDATA[<img alt="" src="http://kstp.com/kstpImages/health_minnesota90.jpg" align="left" border="1" />The Minnesota Health Department will soon become the latest state to announce details of a toll-free nurse line for those... ]]></description>

</item>

</channel>
</rss>

For each row I would like to display the <title> info, <description> info and wrap all of that up in the <link> URL.

I imaging there is a good tutorial out there but I don't know enough to search using the correct terms.

Any help would be AWESOME!!

Thank you!
