Yeah, I mean in that case, just call the text() node of the XML node. Much simpler and you'd get the same result.

There's only one <item> tag in each xml file. So, I don't need an xmllist, given that there's only one item, I can just call toString(). But, I see where you're coming from with an xmllist. That would be the way I'd go if there were more than one <item> tags in each file. Maybe the name of the tag, item, is misleading. I suppose that would be a case of semantics. Ultimately, I only need to call this line (using Greensock's XMLLoader): private static function getTextContentComplete(le:LoaderEvent):void{ var xmlData:XML = XML(le.target.content); var cdataContent:String = xmlData.toString(); // not needed...strip CDATA tags: string.replace(new RegExp("(^\<!\[CDATA\[)(.+)(\]\]\>)", "gi"), "$2"); // populate my textfield.htmlText with cdataContent; } Each xml file I read in has this structure: =============================================== <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <item> <![CDATA[some html formatted text]]> </item> Hope that's all clear. - MM OK, maybe I don't understand your XML structure. Why would what you settled on: var kids:XMLList = xmlData.children(); var kidscdata:String = kids[0].toString(); be a better solution for you than this? var myString:String = xmlData[0].text(); Can you post some sample XML? _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This message w/attachments (message) is intended solely for the use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain information that is privileged, confidential or proprietary.
