I should probably have commented out that bit of code, it's not the xml I'm having problems with now (well, I have, but I'll get to those questions later). I thought that by calling my actionscript class, var notes:DrawNotes = new DrawNotes();, that would display my hard coded score on screen? I was going to loop through the xml later to go draw every specific element but for now I'm just trying to draw anything. Do I need to connect that to a visual element?
