Hi all,  
I’m quite new in **AS3** programming and I’ve the following 2 problems:

1. The script will output only the “No text” for the first mouse click into the “txtBox” textbox . Only after second mouse click It will output text (but only the first element content) from the xml file. Why? I need the correct action for the first click…

2. Only the first element \<nadpis\> “First heading” is in the texbox txtBox after the second mouse click. The ouptut is well formated by css but the rest of elements contents is missing. I don’t understand why, because the “textOnas” string contains all the content from the o\_nas.xml file as evident from the debuger output window (written by the trace command).

I have the following AS3, XML and CSS files:

**AS3 file:**

```auto

          txtBox.selectable = false;
          txtBox.wordWrap = true;
          txtBox.multiline = true;
          txtBox.styleSheet = cssDoc;
          node1 = xmlDoc.firstChild;
          node1Name = node1.nodeName;
 
          if (node1Name == "page")
          {
               for (var ndSubs:XMLNode = node1.firstChild; ndSubs != null; ndSubs=ndSubs.nextSibling)
               {
                    textOnas += ndSubs.toString();
               }
               trace(textOnas);
          txtBox.htmlText = textOnas; //this command will output only the "First heading" text into the 'txtBox' textbox.
                                                     //Where is the rest of the 'textOnas' string ???
          }
          else
          {
               txtBox.htmlText = "No text...";
          }
     }
     else
     {
          txtBox.htmlText = "No text...";
     }
}

```

**XML file (o\_nas.xml):**

```html
 
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet href="style.css" type="text/css" media="screen"?>
 
<page>
 
     <text>
          <nadpis>First heading</nadpis>
          <subnadpis>Subheading 1</subnadpis>
          <text1>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. </text1>
      </text>
 
      <text>
           <nadpis>Second heading</nadpis>
           <subnadpis>Subheading 2</subnadpis>
           <text1>Quisque a urna a tellus placerat mollis.</text1>
      </text>
 
 
 
      <text>     
           <nadpis>Third heading</nadpis>
           <subnadpis>Subheading 2</subnadpis>
           <text1>Donec nibh diam, posuere a, congue feugiat, fringilla eget, ligula. </text1>
      </text>
 
</page>

```

**CSS FILE (style.css):**

```auto
 
p {
   color: #000000;
   font-family: Times New Roman;
   font-size: 12px;
 
   }
 
nadpis {
   color: #339900;
   font-size: 16px;
   font-weight: bold;
   display: block;
   margin-bottom: 5px;
   margin-top: 20px;
   margin-left: 10px;
   margin-right:10px;
  }
 
subnadpis {
   font-style: italic;
   color: white;
   }
 
text1 {
   text-indent: 20px;
   color: red;
   }  

```

**The debuger output window after the SECOND click:**

> 

\<text\>\<nadpis\>First heading\</nadpis\>\<subnadpis\>Subheading 1\</subnadpis\>\<text1\>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. \</text1\>\</text\>\<text\>\<nadpis\>Second heading\</nadpis\>\<subnadpis\>Subheading 2\</subnadpis\>\<text1\>Quisque a urna a tellus placerat mollis. \</text1\>\</text\>\<text\>\<nadpis\>Third heading\</nadpis\>\<subnadpis\>Subheading 3\</subnadpis\>\<text1\>Donec nibh diam, posuere a, congue feugiat, fringilla eget, ligula.\</text1\>\</text\>

Could someone more experienced help me to solve the above mentioned problems, please?

Thank you in advance…

and SORRY for my English…
