I am trying to figure out how arcane channeling works for a duskblade and I think I am reading too much into it. At 3rd level does the duskblade have the ability to take a move action up to an opponent then arcane channel a touch spell and attack with it the same round? Should be obvious on reading it but the wording is striking me as vague (nothing some sleep and a cup of coffee wouldn't solve most likely). Thanks for the help.

Arcane Channeling takes a standard action.

I believe you can move, arcane channel a touch spell to your weapon and then make a single attack as a standard action, or arcane channel and make your full attacks as a full round action.

You cannot.

The first sentence of the ability clarifies that casting the spell, channeling it into the weapon, and making the attack are all done as part of a Standard Action.

Actually, yes you can after you hit level 13, since then you get Arcane Channeling (Full Attack). But until then, no, standard action, one touch attack.
