I want my application to read an xml file every time I hit a specific key and populate some text fields. The key listener is no bid deal. I initially read the xml file when the flash piece is first loaded and it populates the fields correctly. How do I “reload” an xml file to update the fields when the xml data has changed? This is where i’m LOST!!!

any help would be appreciated!:azn:
