[FONT=verdana, arial, helvetica][SIZE=2]Hi Guys, that’s my xml:

\<?xml version=“1.0” encoding=“iso-8859-1”?\>  
\<imagenes\>  
\<imagen\>  
\<![CDATA[  
Esta es la mejor final de toda la historia  
]]\>  
\</imagen\>  
\</imagenes\>

///////////////////////////

I have a problem with this:

trace(obj\_xml.firstChild.firstChild.nodeValue);  
it traces “null”;

But If I write this:

trace(obj\_xml.firstChild.firstChild);

///////  
traces this:  
///////  
\<imagen\>Esta es la mejor final de toda la historia\</imagen\>

///////////  
why is that?  
Thanx 4 the answers[/SIZE][/FONT]
