New XML from a variable defined within the SWF

[ironmallet]

Is it possible to load information pasted into input text box as an XML object

I have tried system_xml = new XML(textbox_mc.contents)
In this case trace(system_xml.firstChild) returns the 'xml' file just as pasted
Thing were looking good
But the XML cannot be read normally.

I've verified that external XML files on the server are loading and being read properly

I'm just missing the syntax - or the functionality just isn't there

Text Variable ----> XML Object , is this possible?

Found Answer:

system_xml = new XML();
system_xml.parseXML(textbox_mc.contents);
