I have a NEWS LIST (news\_list\_fr.fla) that’s being loaded with data from an XML file (linkbox.xml) and it’s working fine. But now I want to load data from some other XML file (news\_fr.xml) which is structured differently. It uses nested tags instead of attributes. Since the data is not structured the same way, it won’t load into my SWF.

I tried to modify my Actionscript (you’ll notice my comments) but can’t seem to find a solution. I’m not the best actionscripter around and need some help with that.

You’ll find my files attached with this thread (news\_list.zip).

Thanks for help!
