Hey all,

I am trying to access a file via XML in Flash 8, but I cannot even get it to show up in my output window. Below is the XML and the Flash code. Everytime I get an ‘undefined’ in the output window. I want the text ‘audio1.wav’ to display in the output window.

**ACTIONSCRIPT BELOW**  
[COLOR=Blue]var templateXML:XML = new XML();  
templateXML.ignoreWhite = true;  
templateXML.load(“template.xml”);

templateXML.onLoad = function(p\_success:Boolean):Void{  
if(p\_success){  
trace("::XML LOADING SUCCESSFUL::");  
trace(this.firstChild.childNodes[0].nextSibling.firstChild.firstChild.attributes.path);[/COLOR]

**XML BELOW**  
 [COLOR=Blue]\<!–This is an XML file for the VTS template–\>
