[COLOR=navy]Hey all![/COLOR]  
[COLOR=navy][/COLOR]  
[COLOR=navy]Basically, I am having trouble pulling in more than one line of XML data. Here is the line of code I am trying to manipulate to give me more than one line. I have tried duplicating it and changing the values… but it just updates which line it is displaying instead of the first and second one…[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkorange]\_root.setlist = this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;[/COLOR]

[COLOR=navy]Inside of my XML document it is layed out like this…[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkorange]\<shows\>[/COLOR]  
[COLOR=darkorange]\<show\>[/COLOR]  
[COLOR=darkorange]\<setlist\>[/COLOR]  
[COLOR=darkorange]\<song\>Song 1\</song\>[/COLOR]  
[COLOR=darkorange]\</song\>Song 2\</song\>[/COLOR]  
[COLOR=darkorange]\</setlist\>[/COLOR]  
[COLOR=darkorange]\</show\>[/COLOR]  
[COLOR=darkorange]\</shows\>[/COLOR]

[COLOR=navy]Here is whole block of code that makes it work…[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkorange]on (press) {  
function loadXML(loaded) {  
if (loaded) {  
\_root.setlist = this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;  
\_root.showinfo = this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;  
setlist\_txt.text = \_root.setlist;  
showinfo\_txt.text = \_root.showinfo;  
} else {  
trace(“XML FILE NOT LOADED!!”);  
}  
}  
xmlData = new XML();  
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;  
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;  
xmlData.load(“xmlDocument.xml”);  
}[/COLOR]

[COLOR=navy]Hopefully that is enough information and I hope it is also clear. If someone could help me out, I would greatly appreciate it!![/COLOR]
