Hi people, as you will guess im new to AS3 so please be forgiving!

Im trying to implement a web based XML file into an AS3 based flash doc. I have no problems grabbing the data from the XML, but getting it to display, well it probably obvious, but it aint happenin for me!!

My current code is as follows…

* * *

var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();  
var xmlData:XML = new XML();

xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, LoadXML);

xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest(“[http://lctinteractive.com/ryancrossland/headlines.xml](http://lctinteractive.com/ryancrossland/headlines.xml)”));

function LoadXML(e:Event):void {  
xmlData = new XML(e.target.data);  
//START DATA TRACE  
trace(“XML Output”);  
trace("------------------------");  
trace(xmlData);  
//END DATA TRACE  
}

* * *

With Thanks,  
Ryan

I never understand why people expect others to e-mail them on a forum… it makes more sense to post an answer here so others can benefit from it.

Anyway, what you’re possibly after is something like this:

```auto
trace(xmlData.toXMLString());

```
