Hi

I’m trying to pass a movie clip name from xml to an array, but everything I’ve tried gives me a Type Coercion failed: error.

my xml format is (although I’m not restricted to this):

```auto
<movie_clip_name>mc_0</movie_clip_name>

```

I want to pass this into an array. I’ve tried directly (that works with other values) or via a variable:

```auto
myArray[0] = [myXML.clips[0].movie_clip_name, myXML.clips[0].movie_clip_start, myXML.clips[0].movie_clip_end];

```

Any help greatly appreciated.
