Problem with XML only loading 50% of the time

1

Hello all, thanks for taking the time to open this thread.

I have some XML AS that creates buttons and loads data into some text fields. Also loads an image when you click a link…

It works great most of the time!

But I have noticed sometimes it just doesnt load the text and I need to click onto another frame and click back to make it work… I am guessing there is some small thing missing from my code?

If you would be so kind, can you look over it?

Thanks

Dale Jacobs
