Why?? If my XML document looks like (just an example)...
< parent name="name" >
< child name="child" >
< /parent >
and my flash script looks like....
parentXML = new XML();
parentXML.onLoad = loaded;
parentXML.load("document.xml");
function loaded() {
parentNameX = parentXML.firstChild;
parentName = parentNameX.attributes.name;
}
stop ();
The the name attribute of the parent node is successfully loaded into the variable parentName. But if my XML document looks like...
< ?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ? >
< parent name="name" >
< child name="child" >
< /parent >
the attribute isn't loaded into the variable? And how do I load the child attributes into variables? I can't seem to get this. Any help would be much appreciated!
thx,
Paul

Uhh...
Whitespace - whitespace - whitespace
When you add (I think it's called...) XML type declaration, you add whitespace. That whitespace is treated like a text node.
Try:
parentNameX = parentXML.childNodes[1];
and see if that works.

almost
that didn't work but... i used [2] and it did...
parentXML = new XML();
parentXML.onLoad = loaded;
parentXML.load("PaulSpitzer.xml");
function loaded() {
parentNameX = parentXML.childNodes[2];
parentName = parentNameX.attributes.name;
}
stop ();
my xml doc looks like
< ?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
< parent name="parent">
< child name="child"/>
< /parent>
This is good, I'm getting close! :) thanks. Now I need to figure out how to get the damn < child name="child"> into a variable. Any help with that?
