Hi,

Re:Tutorial [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flashcs3/using\_xml\_as3\_pg1.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flashcs3/using_xml_as3_pg1.htm)

Great tutorial but if want to display the output in a dynamic text field (e.g. something.text = output) instead of ‘trace’ what’s the easiest way? I’ve tried all sorts of ways including variables but can’t get the data to display!

Thanks
