Hi guys,

I’m having a hard time setting a XML value as a String for some reason. I’m sure it’s easy but nothing works today.

Anyways, I tried pushing it to a string var but that doesn’t work. My solution is easy but I’m pretty sure it’s not the right way to go about it.

```php

preloader.add("" + xmlvar.over + "");

```

The quotes forces it into a string but like I said, it’s probably not the right way to go about it… IE “xmlvar.over:String”

Little help? :love\_heart:
