[SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman]my\_xml.load(“[http://www.doubleumedia.co.za/working\_folder/xml/my\_document.xml](http://www.doubleumedia.co.za/working_folder/xml/my_document.xml)”);[/FONT][/SIZE]  
[SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman]trace(my\_xml); // traces “undefined” ???[/FONT][/SIZE]

[SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman]var my\_xml = new XML("\<loss\>We cannot perform well.\</loss\>"); [/FONT][/SIZE]  
[SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman]trace(my\_xml); // traces “\<loss\>We cannot perform well.\</loss\>” [/FONT][/SIZE]

[SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman]my\_xml.firstChild.nodeName = “victory”; [/FONT][/SIZE]  
[SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman]my\_xml.firstChild.firstChild.nodeValue = “We dominate!”; [/FONT][/SIZE]  
[SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman]trace(my\_xml); // traces “\<victory\>We dominate!\</victory\>”[/FONT][/SIZE]
