ok, very small problem, can’t seem to think straight, could really do with some help from someone…

i’m using this code to output to a dynamic text box-

```auto
function loadXML(loaded) {
    if (loaded) {
        xmlParent = this.firstChild;
        person = xmlParent.childNodes;
        
        for (var i = 0; i<person.length; i++) {
            output_txt.text += person*+"
";
        }
    }
}
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;

```

everything works how i want it to, as in lists the xml file how i want, but it’s showing the node name as well as it’s content

eg.  
lastName, firstName

i just need it to show

lastName, firstName

example for the XML file is this:

```auto
<level>
<person>lastName, firstName</person>
<person>lastName2, firstName2</person>
<person>lastName3, firstName3</person>
<person>lastName4, firstName4</person>
</level>

```

can anyone please help me out with this?
