sort of Parsing/split text problems

[Junior84]

This is the code to bring the XML into flash,

importXMLGOLD = new XML();
importXMLGOLD.ignoreWhite = true;
importXMLGOLD.onLoad = function(successGOLD)
{
if (successGOLD)
{

var rootGOLD = this.firstChild.childNodes; // The root node

var curcodeGOLD = [];


trace(rootGOLD.length);
for (var rGOLD = 0; rGOLD < rootGOLD.length; rGOLD++)
{
//push each to an array value

curcodeGOLD[rGOLD] = rootGOLD[rGOLD].childNodes[10].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;


}
}
//check the arrays
for (var nGOLD = 0; nGOLD < curcodeGOLD.length; nGOLD++) {

trace (curcodeGOLD[nGOLD]);
realGoldM.realGold.text = curcodeGOLD[0];
}
//end check


}
importXMLGOLD.load("realgold.php");

//check the arrays
for (var nGOLD = 0; nGOLD < curcodeGOLD.length; nGOLD++) {

trace (curcodeGOLD[nGOLD]);
str = curcodeGOLD[0];
len = str.length;
id = str.lastIndexOf(":");
str = str.substr(id+2,len)
trace(str);
realGoldM.realGold.text = str;
}
//end check

importXMLother = new XML();
importXMLother.ignoreWhite = true;
importXMLother.onLoad = function(successother)
{
if (successother)
{

var rootother = this.firstChild.childNodes; // The root node

var curcodeother = [];


trace(rootother.length);
for (var rother = 0; rother < rootother.length; rother++)
{
//push each to an array value

curcodeother[rother] = rootother[rother].childNodes[10].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;


}
}
//check the arrays
for (var nother = 0; nother < curcodeother.length; nother++) {

trace (curcodeother[nother]);
//
var palStr:String = curcodeother[nother];
var palSplit:Array = palStr.split(" ");
var palLast:String = palSplit[palSplit.length-2];
realCopperM.realCopper.text = palLast;
}
//end check


}
importXMLother.load("realpalladium.php");

Exceeeeeeeellent

now im having problems with the next one!

[Junior84]

for (var nbase = 0; nbase < curcodebase.length; nbase++) {

//trace (curcodebase[nbase]);
//
var baseStr:String = curcodebase[nbase];
var baseSplit:Array = baseStr.split("<TABLE><TR><TH>Base</TH><TH>USD bid</TH><TH>USD ask</TH></TR><TR><TD>Copper</TD><TD>");
var baseLast:String = baseSplit[baseSplit.length-1];

var baseBall:String = baseLast;
var baseSplitter:Array = baseBall.split(" ");
var baseLONG:String = baseSplitter[baseSplitter.length-1];


//realIronM.realIron.text = baseLast;
trace (baseLast);
}

im using that to try and split this xml file in description

you've lost me there mate

1st post you use - for (var rGOLD = 0; rGOLD < rootGOLD.length; rGOLD++)
2nd post you use - for (var nother = 0; nother < curcodeother.length; nother++)
3rd post you use - for (var nbase = 0; nbase < curcodebase.length; nbase++)

not one thing in 3 posts are in common,......totally lost
