I'm currently building an application in flash in relation to RSS/XML feeds for a project. I'm stuck at the moment because I keep getting this error:

Error opening URL 'http://distilleryimage6.instagram.com/.jpg' Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2036: Load Never Completed.

I know my string picURL is not functioning properly, but am I missing something that makes it not functional? This is my code:

package  {

import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.net.*;


public class instagramFeed extends MovieClip {
    //link to #rit xml loader
    public var ritFileRequest = new URLRequest("http://instagram.com/tags/rit/feed/recent.rss");
    public var ritXmlLoader = new URLLoader();

    //link to #rochester xml loader
    // same as above public variables

    public function instagramFeed() {
        // constructor code
        trace("About to load...");

        //Loads #rit hashtag xml data.
        ritXmlLoader.load(ritFileRequest);
        ritXmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, displayRITInfo);
    }

    //focuses on data with #rit hashtag
    public function displayRITInfo(e:Event):void{
        var ritInstagramData:XML = new XML(ritXmlLoader.data);
        var ritInfoList:XMLList = ritInstagramData.elements().item;
        trace(ritInfoList);

        //load the image
        var ritPic:String = ritInfoList.*::condition.@code;
        var picURL:String = "http://distilleryimage6.instagram.com/" + ritPic + ".jpg";
        trace(picURL);

        //show the image on the stage!
        var ritImageRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(picURL);
        var ritImageLoader:Loader = new Loader();
        ritImageLoader.load(ritImageRequest);

        addChild(ritImageLoader);

        ritImageLoader.x=200;
        ritImageLoader.y=100;
        ritImageLoader.scaleX = 3;
        ritImageLoader.scaleY = 3;

    }

}

}
