Hello all!

I am working on a flash file that imports XML values into flash. I used tutorials from this forum and all worked nice. Now i would like to do one more thing but cant find solution or answer to it. Hope that you guys can help me out with it.

What i want to achieve is:

I am importing 8 numbers from XML file first 4 called HOT number next 4 called COLD number and i show it in dynamic text boxes in flash file. XML changes and values in the file changes as well.

I want to check if imported number is : 1 or 2 or 3 or 7 or 8 or 9 then color of imported number should be red , if number is for example 4,5,10,12,15 then color is black other numbers color green. Numbers are from 0-36

How can I do that? I pasted code i have right now below.

Thanks for any help.

XML

```auto
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<NUMBERS>

	<hotnumbers>
		<hotnumber1>32</hotnumber1>
		<hotnumber2>22</hotnumber2>
		<hotnumber3>3</hotnumber3>
		<hotnumber4>12</hotnumber4>
	</hotnumbers>
	
	<coldnumbers>
		<coldnumber1>66</coldnumber1>
		<coldnumber2>67</coldnumber2>
		<coldnumber3>68</coldnumber3>
		<coldnumber4>69</coldnumber4>
	</coldnumbers>

</NUMBERS>

```

AS 2.0

```auto
function loadXMLData(loaded) 

{

if (loaded) {
	_root.hotnumber1 = this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
	_root.hotnumber2 = this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
	_root.hotnumber3 = this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[2].firstChild.nodeValue;
	_root.hotnumber4 = this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[3].firstChild.nodeValue;
	
	_root.coldnumber1 = this.firstChild.childNodes[1].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
	_root.coldnumber2 = this.firstChild.childNodes[1].childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
	_root.coldnumber3 = this.firstChild.childNodes[1].childNodes[2].firstChild.nodeValue;
	_root.coldnumber4 = this.firstChild.childNodes[1].childNodes[3].firstChild.nodeValue;
	
	hotnum1_txt.text = _root.hotnumber1;
	hotnum2_txt.text = _root.hotnumber2;
	hotnum3_txt.text = _root.hotnumber3;
	hotnum4_txt.text = _root.hotnumber4;
	
	colnum1_txt.text = _root.coldnumber1;
	colnum2_txt.text = _root.coldnumber2;
	colnum3_txt.text = _root.coldnumber3;
	colnum4_txt.text = _root.coldnumber4;
}

else {
trace("Could not load XML file");
}
} 

xmlFile = new XML();
xmlFile.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlFile.onLoad = loadXMLData;
xmlFile.load("hotcold.xml");

```
