loadXML([url:String](http://www.kirupa.com/forum/String)) - load a specify xml and it will automatically convert xml to XMLParser  
object.

addListener: create a listener to listen to onParseComplete event whick check whether the  
XMLoader had finished on loading and parsing the xml.  
removeListener: remove a listener.  
getParseObject():XMLParser : A method that will return the XMLParser object.  
Example:Usage

```auto

import parser.*;
var xmlloader:XMLLoader = new XMLLoader();
var objl: Object = new Object(); // the object that will listen to the onParseComplete event
var parse:XMLParser = new XMLParser();
objl.onParseComplete = function() {
 parse = xmlloader.getParseObject(); // get the xml as parse object
 parse.viewDetails(); // trace a table like collection of data and its value
};
xmlloader.addListener(objl); //adding the listener
xmlloader.loadXML("setup/enemy_collection.swf"); // loads the XML

```

XMLParser Object: Convert XML to an array like table for easier access.  
Constructor

```auto

var parseobj:XMLParser = new XMLParser();

```

XMLParser object.  
index: ROW number  
COlName: Then Name of the Column  
newvalue: the value to replace the existing value  
deleteNode(index:Number): delete specify row in XMLParser…  
toXML(rootnode:String, childnode:string):Void Convert the XMLParse object to XML String that  
can be parse to XML.  
rootnode: The xml tag that will appear in the rootnode of your xml.
