I am getting this error code :  
TypeError: Error #1006: value is not a function.  
at ProjectMain\_Scene5\_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()

I am basically trying to load my xml file in flash and keep getting that error.

My code is:  
stop();

btnPlay.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickedPlay2);

var my\_xml = new XML();

my\_xml.load(“I:\Final Year Project  
umericGame.xml”);

function clickedPlay2(event:MouseEvent):void  
{  
trace (“play”);  
}

Can anyone help please?
