I’m having trouble setting the value of a dynamic text field (elevation) equal to a value from an external XML source.

Here is a snippet of the XML source:[indent]\<?xml version=“1.0” encoding=“utf-8”?\>\<WeatherReport xmlns:xsd=“[http://www.w3.org/2001/…](http://www.w3.org/2001/)”\>  
\<station\>  
\<elevation\>6\</elevation\>  
\</station\>  
\<WeatherReport\>  
[/indent]I load the XML source into Flash using:[indent]var weatherQuery = [http://www.bgxcomponents.com/webservices…](http://www.bgxcomponents.com/webservices);var weatherXML = new XML();  
weatherXML.ignoreWhite = true;  
weatherXML.onLoad = displayResults;  
weatherXML.load(weatherQuery);  
[/indent]Then I try to set the dynamic text field “elevation” equal to the “elevation” value in the XML using the following code, but nothing happens:

[indent]function displayResults() {  
elevation.text = airportXML.WeatherReport.station.elevation.text}  
[/indent]PLEASE HELP!! THANKS!!
