Hi,

I have an xml file (attached). And what I need to do is find out the number of clients in the list

gallery\_xml = new XML(xmlLoader.data);  
var list:XMLList = gallery\_xml.data.digital;  
trace(“the list length is” + list.length());

This is what I have so far but it always returns 0.

Thanks,

RK
