Can't access tags directly
Can somebody please explain to me what's going on here?
I can load an external .xml sheet no problem. I can trace the entire content of that .xml sheet no problem. I CAN'T seem to directly access the tags. When I try to trace them, I get nothing.
Here's the code (called from another script. I pass the URL location of the .xml file)
Code:
public function init(target:String)
{
myLoader.load(new URLRequest(target));
myLoader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.TEXT;
myLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, processXML);
}
public function processXML(e:Event):void
{
var xml:XMLList = XML(myLoader.data);
trace(xml.responseDeclaration); //traces nothing
trace(xml) //traces all xml code
}
Here is the xml file
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

The only thing I can get to work at this point is to access the tags via:
trace(xml.children()[0].localName()) //traces responseDeclaration
trace(xml.children().length() //traces 2
I do NOT want to have to resort to recursive functions as a "work around".
