XML help

okay i dont have time to really learn xml.
just need to know the code to load 1 string from xml file that looks like this

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<map>
 <mapx1y1>1</mapx1y1>
 <mapx2y1>1</mapx2y1>
 <mapx3y1>1</mapx3y1>
 <mapx4y1>1</mapx4y1>
 <mapx5y1>1</mapx5y1>
 <mapx6y1>1</mapx6y1>
 </map>

i know AS pretty well… and was supprised that one can’t load numbers from a .txt file (thinks there char).

Usually dont ask for people to write the code, but ive answered enough posts and i haven’t asked a question in a while so…
thanks in advance.
