I am unsure of why I am unable to populate an array with the proper information. For a minute, this was working, but all of a sudden, it did not. I did a load and it did not work after I switched it over to an .as file and called it.

Please assist.

ActionScript

> 

xmlData.onLoad = function(success:Boolean)  
{

```
if(success)
{
    xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
    var xmlRoot:XMLNode = xmlData.firstChild;
    
    arrTemp = xmlRoot.childNodes;
    
    trace("Data: 

```

## " + xmlData + "

## "); trace("Root: " +xmlRoot.childNodes+ "

");

```
    trace("Number of Photos here:"+ arrTemp.length + "

```

* * *

");  
trace(“ok”);  
}else{

```
    trace("no");
    
}

```

}
