Hello,  
i would like to load the information contained in a specific tag of my xml page inside a textArea component. The following code displays the entire xml page including the tags. Anybody know how to tell flash to display only the info from inside a specific tag?  
code:  
var xml:XML;

var urlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(“mlb.xml”);  
var urlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();  
urlLoader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.TEXT;  
urlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, urlLoader\_complete);  
urlLoader.load(urlRequest);

function urlLoader\_complete(evt:Event):void {  
xml = new XML(evt.target.data);  
textArea.text = xml.toXMLString();  
}

thanks
