I’m a newbie

Trying to complete the above tutorial Got the PHP and XML working. But when I load the swf file, the XML appears as a string of XML script instead of just plain text.

Any reason why? Do I still have to do formatting ?

# script

# onClipEvent(load) { loadVariables (“[http://localhost/flashtest/test.php?jcode=KA5463](http://localhost/flashtest/test.php?jcode=KA5463)”,this, “GET”); }

loads the XML from PHP just fine. but the text loaded is the XML string instead of the data.

please advise?
