Hello.

Here is the problem I am facing now!

I want to load an xml value “name [0]” to a dynamic text field which is into a movie clip.  
The movie clip will loop, each time the timeline starts again from frame one ( of the movie clip) I would like to load the same value of the subsequent childnode “name[1]”. When the maximum number of values is reached the changing of the values will stop.

\<?xml version=“1.0” encoding=“utf-8”?\>

I have made various attempts but nothing works. ![](http://forum.kirupa.com/uploads/kirupa/2881/dd00c593c8ba56af.gif)

I have used this actionscript.

xmlData = new XML();  
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;  
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;  
xmlData.load(“anim1.xml”);

//this function loads the names[0] value in the movie clip.  
function loadXML(loaded) {  
tmp = [];  
names = [];  
images = [];  
xmlNode = this.firstChild.firstChild.firstChild.childNodes;  
len = xmlNode.length;

i=0;  
tmp\* = xmlNode\*.childNodes;  
names.push(tmp\*[0].firstChild.toString());  
images.push(tmp\*[1].firstChild.toString());  
\_root.posost.valueTXT.text=names\*;

}  
//this action is called in the last frame of the movie clip  
function increment (){  
i++;  
\_root.posost.valueTXT.text="";  
tmp\* = xmlNode[n].childNodes;  
names.push(tmp\*[0].firstChild.toString());  
trace(i);  
if (i\>len){  
\_root.gotoAndStop(5);  
}else{  
\_root.posost.valueTXT.text=names\*;

```
}

```

}

It doesn’t change the value of the text field it says undefined. I traced i and it increments as coded, and when i\>len is true it goes to the frame specified.

Any hints please???  
Any help will be deeply appreciated!
