i need a -----------\>:nurse:

hello plz

im so tierd with this realy.  
i was following a tutorial that shows how to display xml txt in flash

so groovie i thought to myself  
and tried to change somthing  
goes like that

this is the xml file highly “simple” supposeably!

\<?xml version=“1.0”?\>

\<inventors\>  
\<person\>  
\<name\>xxThomas Edison\</name\>  
\<style\>Inventor of many things such as the incandescent lightbulb.\</comment\>  
\</person\>  
\<person\>  
\<name\>boocha\</name\>  
\<style\>a sweeter kind of dogo\</comment\>  
\</person\>  
\</inventors\>

this is the FLASH ac command:

function loadXML(loaded) {  
if (loaded) {  
\_root.inventors = this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;  
\_root.comments = this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;  
\_root.inventors2 = this.lastChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].lastChild.nodeValue;  
\_root.comments2 = this.lastChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[1].lastChild.nodeValue;  
name\_txt.text = \_root.inventors;  
comment\_txt.text = \_root.comments;  
name2\_txt.text = \_root.inventors2;  
comment2\_txt.text = \_root.comments2;  
//trace(not\_set\_yet);  
} else {  
trace(“file not loaded!”);  
}  
}  
xmlData = new XML();  
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;  
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;  
xmlData.load(“inventors.xml”);

i made 4 txt fields on the flash stage :  
comment\_txt  
comment2\_txt  
name\_txt  
name2\_txt

the xml info is showing only the first node and tottaly ignoring the other node-  
\_root.inventors2 = this.lastChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].lastChild.nodeValue;  
\_root.comments2 = this.lastChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[1].lastChild.nodeValue;

this section isnt working somhow…
