[RESOLVED] Finding only base nodes of an XML file

[onurcan1977]

Hello, I have an xml file with various nodes and want to get first nodes of it, not children. Here's my code:

function processXML(event:Event):void {
    menu_xml = new XML(event.target.data);
    trace (menu_xml.child("mainmenu"));
}

This code doesn't output anything. I'm using Flash Professional CC 2015.0.

Here's the xml content:

<?xml version="1.0"?> 
<mainmenu>

    <home/> 
    <portfolio/> 
    <contact/> 
    <friends>

        <joe/> 
        <karen/> 
        <bob/> 

    </friends>

</mainmenu>
