I'm trying to rebuild my personal site in flash, which has proven to be dumb for someone on my level of flash. I'm having problems with the portfolio area, Its nothing big really. I'm trying to use an xml file to display 3 properties in the flash file, Client Name, Project Type, and Description. And when i visit the flash file i see this;
http://www.rawgfx.5gigs.com/thefile (excuse my frustration on the file name lol..

also this is altered from the getxmldata xml file that was posted on here. i found the xml file but couldnt find the tut! if possible just a link to the tutorial would be preferred, because i went blind on the code mostly. so it may be best to restart fresh.

what exactly is your setup like of the fla like?

[Wowzers]

Like the actionscript?

[funkysoul]

yeh as well the xml

[Wowzers]

XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> 
<getxmldata>
<xmldoc>Grrrr!</xmldoc>
<node_name>Work!</node_name>
<topic>muwahaha</topic>
<author>yay!!!</author>
</getxmldata>

ActionScript:

Frame 1:
getxmldata=new XML();
getxmldata.load("http://rawgfx.5gigs.com/getxmldata.xml","");
stop();

Frame 3:
if (getxmldata.loaded){
	var p = getxmldata.firstChild;
	xmldoc = getxmldata.childNodes;
	node_name=p.nodeName;
	topic=p.attributes.topic;
	author=p.attributes.author;
}

The way you are doing it seems to be like this tutorial...

http://www.smartwebb...ternal_data.asp

Pay attention to the XML file example here...

http://www.smartwebb...ash/xmldata.xml

Have a look at this tutorial, maybe better for this situation:

[Ben]

Frame 1:

var myXML:XML = new XML();
myXML.load("http://rawgfx.5gigs.com/getxmldata.xml");

Frame 3:

myXML.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
if(success) {
node_name = this.firstChild.childNodes[2].nodeValue;
topic = this.firstChild.childNodes[3].nodeValue;
author= this.firstChild.childNodes[4].nodeValue;
}
}
