Hi, after many and many hours of trying to understand how Flex works, I have managed to read a string of text from an XML file! Forgive me if this is too little or if I am too slow, but maybe someone could be in my situation (probably newbies)

So by the way, here is the link:  
[Flex and XML tutorial](http://www.flextutor.org/flex-xml/how-to-read-a-local-xml-file-with-flex/)

If you think that something that I wrote is wrong, please let me know so that I can clean everything up, or give a better explanation.

Bye bye!
