my code to access it:


var listlength = _root.listxml.firstChild.firstChild.childNodes.length;
trace(listlength);

That works fine. It reads the first node though so it outputs 3. I need to be able to access the other nodes like for example I am trying to access the entertainment node so I figured


var listlength = _root.listxml.firstChild.firstChild[1].childNodes.length;
trace(listlength);

would work but it comes back undefined…any suggestions?
