I am having a serious dillema of being unable to get two xml nodes side by side. Here is my current actionscript 3 code:

var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();  
var xmlURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest(“xml\_text.xml”);  
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, xmlLoaded);  
xmlLoader.load(xmlURL);

var xmldata:XML = new XML();  
xmldata.ignoreWhitespace = true;  
function xmlLoaded(evt:Event):void {  
xmldata = XML(xmlLoader.data);  
trace(xmldata.news1.date1+xmldata.news1.content1)  
}

here is my xml:

\<?xml version=“1.0” encoding=“utf-8” ?\>  
\<textdata\>  
\<news1\>  
\<date1\>9/25/08\</date1\>  
\<content1\>Currently testing xml loading in flash\</content1\>  
\</news1\>  
\</textdata\>

here is the current output:

\<date1\>9/25/08\</date1\>  
\<content1\>Currently testing xml loading in flash\</content1\>

here is my desired output:

9/25/08 Currently testing xml loading in flash

Please help me get my desired output! i am pretty new to actionscript 3
