I want to send the xml data that is created at the [ASP.NET](http://ASP.NET) to flash.  
edit: [ASP.net](http://ASP.net) gets data from sql server and place inside a dataset

But whenever i used “response.write(dataset.writexml)”,  
I would get Error 1088. markup is not well formed.

when i placed a “trace(event.target.data)” to see what data returned to flash,  
it shows that i got back not just the xml data, but some html codes, which i have no idea where it belongs([ASP.NET](http://ASP.NET)? flash?). At the end there’s also an error message.

This is what i got:

\<NewDataSet\>

\<data\>

```
&lt;pid&gt;S0021298J&lt;/pid&gt;

```

\</data\>

\<data\>

Unlike most other people, i don’t wish to create the an .xml file on the server.  
thats why all i did was to send the xml data to flash and display.

Someone suggested to me that maybe i have to make a delimiter to pull out the xml data.

but i’m new to flash and that would waste a lot of time.

Is there some other method?
