But i dont get image in that RSS feed

RSS is xml. You need to looking for image elements, get url and load images separately http://www.w3schools.com/rss/rss_tag_image.asp

how to convert an image into byte stream

In order to load image as ByteArray you need to use URLLoader for image loading:

var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.BINARY;
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loader_completeHandler);

function loader_completeHandler(event:Event):void
{
    //here you can get loaded image as ByteArray
    var imageData:ByteArray = loader.data;
}

If after this you need to show image in display list then:

var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.BINARY;
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loader_completeHandler);

var imageBytesLoader:Loader = new Loader();
imageBytesLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, imageBytesLoader_completeHandler);

function loader_completeHandler(event:Event):void
{
    //here you can get loaded image as ByteArray
    var imageData:ByteArray = loader.data;

    imageBytesLoader.loadBytes(imageData);
}

function imageBytesLoader_completeHandler(event:Event):void
{
    //here you can get loaded image as Bitmap
    var bitmap:Bitmap = Bitmap(imageBytesLoader.content);
}
