Im trying to retrieve without success for example the Live VideoChat Description or about me information or the stats…

Here is the working part of the AS 3 code to retrieve the image:

Code:

trace(theXMLData.channel.item[b]);

var myPattern:RegExp = /src="(.*?)" //with this i retrieve the html link of the picture but how can i retrieve the about me text info for example ??? 

var str:String = (theXMLData.channel.item[b].description);

var result:Object = myPattern.exec(str)[1];

imageList.push( result);

with this code i retrieve the html link of the picture but how can i retrieve the about me text info for example ???

Any ideas?? help please!
