Xml woes

1

for some reason, i can’t seem to get the node values i need from this simple xml… it’s mindboggling! I’m sure i’m overlooking something b/c i’ve been screwing around with this too long.

I originally started doing it the way i usually do by creating vars to store nodes and referencing the vars to call child nodes. that seemed to give me an array structure at that point and I could no longer reference any nodeValues.

what i have should work though, but i’m getting null and undefined.

here’s code:

getIPLocation=function(ip){
	retXML=new XML();
	retXML.ignoreWhite=true;
	retXML.onLoad=function(){
		
		trace("XML: "+this);
		trace("status: "+this.status);
		

		info=this.firstChild.firstChild.nextSibling.nextSibling.nextSibling.firstChild;
		trace("info: "+info);
		_global.userLoc=new Object();
		userLoc.cityState=	 info.firstChild.firstChild.nodeValue;
		userLoc.countryName= info.firstChild.firstChild.nextSibling.nodeValue;
		userLoc.countryAbbrv=info.firstChild.firstChild.nextSibling.nextSibling.nodeValue;
		var Coords:String=   info.firstChild.firstChild.nextSibling.nextSibling.nextSibling.firstChild.firstChild.nodeValue;
		trace("coords string: "+Coords);
		trace("city/state: "+userLoc.cityState);
		trace("country name: "+userLoc.countryName);
		trace("country abbrev: "+userLoc.countryAbbrev);
		trace("location coords: "+userLoc.latLong);
		
		
	};
	
	
	retXML.load("http://api.hostip.info/?ip="+ip);

here’s the xml:

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<HostipLookupResultSet version="1.0.0" xmlns="http://www.hostip.info/api" xmlns:gml="http://www.opengis.net/gml" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.hostip.info/api/hostip-1.0.0.xsd">
 <gml:description>This is the Hostip Lookup Service</gml:description>
 <gml:name>hostip</gml:name>
 <gml:boundedBy>
  <gml:Null>inapplicable</gml:Null>
 </gml:boundedBy>
 <gml:featureMember>
  <Hostip>
   <gml:name>Grandville, MI</gml:name>
   <countryName>UNITED STATES</countryName>
   <countryAbbrev>US</countryAbbrev>
   <!-- Co-ordinates are available as lng,lat -->
   <ipLocation>
    <gml:PointProperty>
     <gml:Point srsName="http://www.opengis.net/gml/srs/epsg.xml#4326">
      <gml:coordinates>-85.7561,42.9038</gml:coordinates>
     </gml:Point>
    </gml:PointProperty>
   </ipLocation>
  </Hostip>
 </gml:featureMember>
</HostipLookupResultSet>

I should definitely mention that this works:

userLoc.cityState=info.firstChild.firstChild.nodeValue;

while the others do not!
