loading variables into flash from xml

[jardane]

I am a little rusty with my action script and i am still using 2.0 in my project. I need to load variables in to flash from an xml file and i just can't seem to get it to work.

here is my flash code:

on (release) {
getxmldata = new XML();
getxmldata.load("xmldata.xml","");
if (getxmldata.loaded) {
var p = getxmldata.firstChild;
xmldoc = getxmldata.childNodes;
node_name = p.nodeName;
box_1 = p.attributes.box_1;
box_2 = p.attributes.box_2;
} else {
box_1 = "not loaded";
box_2 = "not loaded";
}
}

And here is my xml code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<BOX_INFO BOX_1="Box one info" BOX_1="Box two info" />

But this is not working and i would like some help.

Thanks a buch

I've included an example of reading an xml file. There are more things, but this should help you understand the full principle.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?><BOX_INFO BOX_1="Box one info" BOX_2="Box two info" />

on (release) {
	getxmldata = new XML();
	getxmldata.onLoad = function(success) {
		if (success) {
			trace(getxmldata.firstChild)
			var p = getxmldata.firstChild;
			box_1 = p.attributes.BOX_1;
			box_2 = p.attributes.BOX_2;
			trace(box_1);
			trace(box_2);
		} else {
			box_1 = "not loaded";
			box_2 = "not loaded";
		}
	};
	getxmldata.load("xmldata.xml");
}
