[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]Hi all,[/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]I’m trying to load text from XML in to a text field, my Actionscript, as it appears on my first frame and XML are below.[/SIZE][/FONT]

```auto

[SIZE=3][SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman]XMLContent = new XML();[/FONT][/SIZE]
[SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman]XMLContent.ignoreWhite = true;[/FONT][/SIZE]
[SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman]XMLContent.load("test.xml");[/FONT][/SIZE]
[SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman]XMLContent.onLoad = function(success)[/FONT][/SIZE]
[SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman]{[/FONT][/SIZE]
[SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman] if(success)[/FONT][/SIZE]
[SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman] {[/FONT][/SIZE]
[SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman] myText.text = XMLContent;[/FONT][/SIZE]
[SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman] };[/FONT][/SIZE]
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]};[/SIZE][/FONT]
[/SIZE]

```

[SIZE=3]

```auto

[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]<text>[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]<title>Test</title>[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]<intro>Test</intro>[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]<body>Test</body>[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]<end>Test</end>[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]</kungfu>[/SIZE][/FONT]

```

[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]however when I test them movie my text appears exactly as it is in the XML file, tags and all.[/SIZE][/FONT]  
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]I’m following this tutorial [/SIZE][/FONT][[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][COLOR=#800080]http://www.actionscript.org/tutorials/beginner/XML-Formatted\_Content/index.shtml[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]](http://www.actionscript.org/tutorials/beginner/XML-Formatted_Content/index.shtml)[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3] in which this does not happen. :crying: [/SIZE][/FONT]

[SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman]Does anyone know how I can remedy this or am I just doing it a bad way in the first place?[/FONT][/SIZE]
