By the way I’m still really new to Flash and AS3. I’m writing this quiz that gets questions and answers from an xml file in the same directory and displays the question in a TextArea, the available answers in a list, and additional text in another text area. Most of it was working the way I wanted and I noticed the apostrophes weren’t coming through the XML so I thought I’d try escaping it with a \ not thinking. I did a publish preview and saw that my list loop became infinite populating my answer list. I took the \ out and still had the same problem. I backed out as far as I could in the AS3 and couldn’t find anything that would cause it to continually loop like that. I traced a statement at the beginning of the script and realized it was actually looping the whole app not just an event or function. I’ll reply back with the code.
