I know this is probably very simple and i’m just being an idiot…acutally i know it’s simple but can’t get it to work.

My problem is that I’m loading an xml file into a text field which works fine. But When I call out each node of the file it just loads the last one…i ran a trace and everything is displayed in a list…but again jsut the last one in the text field on the stage.

var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader ();  
var xmlData:XML = new XML ();

xmlLoader.addEventListener (Event.COMPLETE, LoadXML);  
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest(“xml file”));

function LoadXML(evt:Event):void {  
xmlData = new XML(evt.target.data);  
Parsevideos(xmlData);  
}

function Parsevideos (videoInput:XML):void{  
var videoList:XMLList = videoInput.children();  
for each (var videosElement:XML in videoList){  
textArea.text = videosElement;  
trace(videosElement);}  
}

This is the code i’m using…i call out a child text field but that shouldn’t be the problem. I tried searching for the last few days for a solution but everyone uses a different method…should i go about this another way or amend this code to solve the problem.

Any help would be great,

Thanks,
