Ok I used the wonderful xml tute you have here and it’s great but i slightly altered it for my needs and have this method

```
private function loadXML(p_page:String){
    __page = p_page;
    __us_txt = new XML;
    __us_txt.ignoreWhite = true;
    __us_txt.load("http://www.uselesskillz.co.uk/usv2/classes/index.php?page=Home");
    __us_txt.onLoad = function(success){
    if (success){
        trace(this);
      }
}

}

```

in the above code traceing this outputs the xml file as expected, but I can’t access this.firstChild… etc  
I assume I am doing something wrong can anyone point out what that was and help.
