hi I have been playin around for an hour or so, I know how to load xml data using a button. onPress command.

Not sure how to set the command to a movieclip??

this is what I have tried.

onClipEvent (mouseDown) {  
function loadXML(loaded) {  
if (loaded) {  
\_root.inventor = this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;  
\_root.comments = this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;  
name\_txt.text = \_root.inventor;  
comment\_txt.text = \_root.comments;  
} else {  
content = “file not loaded!”;  
}  
}  
xmlData = new XML();  
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;  
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;  
xmlData.load(“inventors2.xml”);  
}
