Simple RSS in Flex help?

I am trying to do an oh so very simple RSS reader in flex but I keep seeing so many ways to do it and none of them are working for me, from what I understand it should be as simple as:





%26lt;mx:HTTPService id=';EngadgetFeed'; url=';http://www.engadget.com/rss.xml'; /%26gt;





but then how do I bind the data to my data grid?





%26lt;mx:DataGrid id=';Feed'; x=';10'; y=';86'; height=';307';%26gt;


%26lt;mx:columns%26gt;


%26lt;mx:DataGridColumn headerText=';Title'; dataField=';col1';/%26gt;


%26lt;mx:DataGridColumn headerText=';Date'; dataField=';col2';/%26gt;


%26lt;/mx:columns%26gt;


%26lt;/mx:DataGrid%26gt;





ive tried adding : dataProvider = ';{EngadgetFeed}'; but I know im still missing something.





Can someone show me how to do it in the most simplest way? I dont need it to be amazing looking I just want it to function so I can learn how to do it.Simple RSS in Flex help?
Maybe these free online RSS Feed Makers will help...
