Hello,

Maybe it’s simple, but im a newbie in this topic, so have marcy…  
Just can’t handle this by myself ☹

I have some problem, here’s the situation:  
Im connecting in Flash 8 to Web Services genereted in [asp.net](http://asp.net), which was quite complicated, cause I’ve got some strange and hard to handle objects on output, but anyway - right now the state is, that I got nice xml document in variable (string type) which I can trace… The question is:

Is it the way to translate string (from variable) to xml?  
I tried to use parseXML method, but it doesn’t work for text in variable…

Can anyone help me pls?

Bogdan,

PS: I really like this site, great work guys, greetings from Poland!
