Hey,

I’m loading XML into flash, and then each node is a bunch of text. However, when I try to show the text, the node value (name) also shows. This is the code I’m using:

\_root.LoadedArticle1 = my\_xml.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].toString();

\_root.textBox.text = \_root.ContentHolder.LoadedArticle1;

and then it displays

\<Article1\> blah blah blah blah blah \</Article\>

I’ve been trying different ways, but nothing seems to get rid of it. I’ve done the tutorials and got it to work there. For some reason it doesn’t here! Any help is greatly appreciated!!!
