XML is totally different code from XMLDocument so there could be a bug somewhere. Please file a bug with a test case.

I could read it into a String, and pass that to XMLDocument, and it was happy. But if I passed the same String to XML, I would be a run time exception saying that the XML was invalid. The 'fix' was to strip out the XML header: var str:String= data.readUTFBytes(data.bytesAvailable); var xhdr:String='<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>'; str=str.substr(xhdr.length+1); var xml:XML=new XML(str); Why does that work, and why doesn't XMLDocument do the same validation(?) ? -- Tom Chiverton **************************************************** This email is sent for and on behalf of Halliwells LLP.
