Hiya fellas out there,

I need some help. Im trying to crawl some messages using the code snippet above. the dynamic class Crawler is an actionscript file which reads the contents of an xml file and crawls it. The file is run with the help of the .fla file below. The problem is that the contents are not crawling. What crawls now is the text undefined. from the analyais i have made i observed that the array that contains the xml nodes (i.e the data) is undefined in the init function and as such has nothing in it. Please help me out here cos im freaking out.

.flafile

var filename:String = “E:\Helena’s Game 10-23-2006\flash\datta.xml”;
var craw:Crawler = new Crawler(filename);
craw.view(filename);
