Hi, Thanks for helping guys it is very much appreciated. My problem is I have this xml file below:

<shops>
<shop name="Amazon1">
<category>Books</category>
<url>http://www.amazon.co.uk</url>
</shop>
</shops>

When Im in flash mx 2004, I have used the following code:
select = myshop.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].firstChild;


It retures <category>Books</category>, where I just want the value "Books"....

Anyone could help me, Its strange.
thanks

select = myshop.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].firstChild.attributes.category;

this should work just fine

No it won't work, the attributes command is suppose to use on attributes, it wont work on nodes...

what about instead of attributes using nodeValue?

Im defeated I have to use attributes for all my nodes, and it works alright now. Thanks anyway
Its so strange that all the tutorials were using the firstChild / childNodes[0] method to select the nodes but I just can't.
