1. your load your xml with the standard procedure: read the manual

2. you parse your xml by hand (firstChild, array.push, etc) OR automatically with xml Object from sephiroth

3. wether you have some arrays, or a data object you then create a for loop to extract the data and make something with it.

OK, thanks… :3ye:

But I think you can make the code about one minute! :thumb2:

I need from this:

\<?xml version=“1.0” encoding=“UTF-8”?\>\<ads\>\<ad targeturl=“http://…” imagesrc=“http://… .swf” width="…" height="…"\>\</ad\>\</ads\>

to this:  
\<flashobjects\>  
\<flashobject\>  
\<object\>… .swf\</object\>  
\<link\>http:// …\</link\>  
\</flashobject\>  
\</flashobjects\>

using **“attribute”** helps

\<xml intro\>  
\<list\>  
\<item id=“1” object=“http://” link =“http” /\>  
\<item id=“2” object=“http://” link =“http” /\>  
\</list\>

then it would be something like

linkvariable = this.childNode[0].childNode\*.attribute/s.link

Hey come on, you’ll never learn actionscript if I do it for you 😉

If you install the xmlObject and read the examples you’ll see it’s really easy…

Loading the xml: read the flash manual and then copy paste

Parse the XML with xmlObject: read the example and copy paste, it’s 2 lines of code.

then you do a “for” loop do whatever you want it to do…
