I’m following a tutorial in a book called, “Flash Pro 8 Unleashed,” (610) and am running into trouble trying to trace the nodeValue for the elements in my xml file. Doing some other traces I found out that nodeType for all of the nodes is set to 1. Why? As an aside, tracing [SIZE=1]this.firstChild.childNodes*.childNodes[j][/SIZE] returns as it should, (i.e. “[SIZE=1]<name>Paul</name>”[SIZE=2]). Thanks for any help…[/SIZE][/SIZE][SIZE=2]

my code:
[SIZE=1]var myXML_xml:XML = new XML();
myXML_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
myXML_xml.onLoad=function(success){
if(success){
for(var i:Number = 0; i<this.firstChild.childNodes.length; i++){
for(var j:Number = 0; j<this.firstChild.childNodes*.childNodes.length;j++){
var nodeName:String = this.firstChild.childNodes*.childNodes[j].nodeName;
[COLOR=Red]var nodeValue:String = this.firstChild.childNodes*.childNodes[j].nodeValue;[/COLOR]
trace(nodeName+"="+nodeValue);
}
}
}else{
trace(“there was a major error!!”);
}
}
myXML_xml.load(“team1.xml”);[/SIZE]
**the xml file: **
[SIZE=1]<?xml version=“1.0”?>
<team>
<player>
<name>Paul</name>
<number>15</number>
<position>Point Guard</position>
</player>
<player>
<name>Matt</name>
<number>21</number>
<position>Small Forward</position>
</player>
<player>
<name>Doug</name>
<number>33</number>
<position>Center</position>
</player>
<player>
<name>Todd</name>
<number>51</number>
<position>Power Forward</position>
</player>
<player>
<name>Eddie</name>
<number>11</number>
<position>Shooting Guard</position>
</player>
</team>[/SIZE]
