Hi there,

I’m creating a flash project and would like to pilot the most variables (eg: colors, texts, sizes, …) from a single XML file and then spread them in my document class.

Could you tell me how to mod this ?

```auto

    public var yourName:String;
    public var myXMLLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

    public function intro():void {
         myXMLLoader.load(new URLRequest("xml/config.xml"));
         myXMLLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, processXML);
    }

    public function processXML(e:Event):void {
        var myXML:XML = new XML(e.target.data);
        yourName = myXML.@webName;
        trace (yourName); // doesnt return anything
        myXMLLoader.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, processXML);
        myXMLLoader = null;
    }

```

That’s how my xml is coded :

```auto

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

    <webName>
        <![CDATA[My name...]]>
    </webName>

```

Right now I got no errors but I got nothing when tracing the “yourName” var.

I must be missing something,

Thank you sincerly,
