OK, so I've been playing with CDATA and I'm having a problem that seems pretty common, but can't figure out how to fix. I import the XML, put nodes into arrays, and all text wrapped in CDATA appears...

Wow... OK, I *was* confused, but your answer(s) have gone a long way toward clearing the brain fog.

Thanks for your thorough answer and the good research links.

I'll write more if I have...

OK, I'm willing to entertain an explanation using cdata, but since there doesn't seem to be any documentation for cdata (is there, if so where?... not in flash help, not on macromedia site) I'd...

ANY ideas, at all?
