need to fetch title,id and other inner values from this xml, tried as xml.feed.title and other options to...

Answer 1

The xml variable refers to the root tag itself. So you needn't refer to feed in your e4x.

var feed:XML = new XML(theString);
trace(feed.entry.title);
trace(feed.entry.id);
trace(feed.entry.author.name);

It looks like the xml uses some namespaces like openSearch, gd etc, but their declarations are not present.

Answer 2

For each video entry you can go like this:

xml.entry[index] //this will give you the XMLList for 'index' numbered video
xml.entry[index].title 
xml.entry[index].id  //these will give you title and id for corresponding videos
