You could use the URLLoader class to load the page as text, then use regular expressions to parse it.
private function loadPage( url:String ): void {
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest( url );
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadPageComplete);
loader.load(request);
}
private function loadPageComplete( event:Event ): void {
var pageText:String = String(event.target.data);
var paragraphs:Array = pageText.match( /<p>.*<\/p>/gi );
}
My regexp might be spotchy since I did it off the top of my head. Here is the complete syntax:
