Hi everyone !  
I’m new in Flash, so i would like some help here…  
I’m trying to build a User Interface (SWF) and provide it to my customers in order to have (an easy) access t their sites and they can change the data (images & Texts) of an XML driven photo Gallery.  
After i load the XML in Flash(CS4), i can ‘trace’ the nodes at the output panel but when i’m editing new data the changes are not “saved” in the XML…  
The Files look like this:

[COLOR=#ffffff] **gallery.xml** [/COLOR][COLOR=#ffffff] **fla** [/COLOR]\<?xml version=“1.0” encoding=“utf-8”?\>  
\<objects\>  
\<picture\_path\>pictures/1.jpg\</picture\_path\>  
\<thumb\_path\>thumbs/1.jpg\</thumb\_path\>  
\<picture\_desc\> abcdefgabcdefg \</picture\_desc\>  
\<picture\_title\> ABC \</picture\_title\>

\<picture\_path\>pictures/2.jpg\</picture\_path\>  
\<thumb\_path\>thumbs/2.jpg\</thumb\_path\>  
\<picture\_desc\> abcdefgabcdefg \</picture\_desc\>  
\<picture\_title\> \</picture\_title\>

\<picture\_path\>pictures/3.jpg\</picture\_path\>  
\<thumb\_path\>thumbs/3.jpg\</thumb\_path\>  
\<picture\_desc\> abcdefgabcdefg \</picture\_desc\>  
\<picture\_title\> ABCDEFG \</picture\_title\>  
.  
.  
.  
.  
\</objects\>  
var captionsXMLLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();  
captionsXMLLoader.load(new URLRequest(“gallery.xml”));  
captionsXMLLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, captionsXMLLoadedHandler);

function captionsXMLLoadedHandler(eventObj:Event):void {  
var captionsXML = new XML(eventObj.currentTarget.data);

```
   trace(captionsXML.picture_title[2]); // [COLOR=#808080]-&gt; ABCDEFG 

```

[/COLOR]  
// [COLOR=#808080]( This line should change the data of XML ? )[/COLOR]  
captionsXML.picture\_title[2] = “Bla Bla Bla Bla…”;  
trace(captionsXML.picture\_title[2]); // [COLOR=#808080]-\>[COLOR=#808080] Bla Bla Bla Bla…[/COLOR][/COLOR] [COLOR=#808080][/COLOR]  
[COLOR=#808080][/COLOR]  
[COLOR=#808080][/COLOR]  
[COLOR=#808080][/COLOR]  
[COLOR=#808080][/COLOR]  
[COLOR=#808080][/COLOR]  
[COLOR=#808080][/COLOR]  
[COLOR=#808080]}[/COLOR]

My problem is that i can’t change the data in the XML through AC3 . Is this possible ?  
Please some help here !!!
