Ignore white does not seem to work

1

Hi

I’m very new to this so I’ve most definitely made a mistake somewhere but not sure what I’ve done wrong. I have adapted a new ticker so that it displays more rows but the rows that have no data display as undefined rather than blank.

Here is my code.

function loadXML(loaded) {
    if(loaded) {
        xmlNode = this.firstChild;
        date = [];
        act1 = [];
        act2 = [];
        act3 = [];
        act4 = [];
        total = xmlNode.childNodes.length;
        for(i=0;i<total;i++) {
            date* = xmlNode.childNodes*.childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
            act1* = xmlNode.childNodes*.childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
            act2* = xmlNode.childNodes*.childNodes[2].firstChild.nodeValue;
            act3* = xmlNode.childNodes*.childNodes[3].firstChild.nodeValue;
            act4* = xmlNode.childNodes*.childNodes[4].firstChild.nodeValue;
        }
        first_item();
    } else {
        content = "file not loaded!";
    }
}
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;
xmlData.load("gigs.xml");

function first_item() {
    delay = 3000;
    p = 0;
    display(p);
    p++;
}

function timer() {
    myInterval = setInterval(ticker,delay);
    function ticker() {
        clearInterval(myInterval);
        if(p == total) {
            p = 0;
        }
        fadeout();
    }
}

function display(pos) {    
    newsMC.newsText._alpha = 100;
    newsMC.newsText.text = date[pos];
    act1MC.actText.text = act1[pos];
    act2MC.actText.text = act2[pos];
    act3MC.actText.text = act3[pos];
    act4MC.actText.text = act4[pos];
    timer();
}

function fadeout() {
    this.onEnterFrame = function() {
            display(p);
            p++;
            delete this.onEnterFrame;
        }
    }

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
