haven't looked into it, but surely it would make more sense if the data source was a FLash XML object. in order to try it you shouldn't have to change your code too much.
set myXML = newObject("XML") myXML.ignoreWhite = true myXML.parseXML(member("XML").text) sprite("myTree").dataProvider = myXML give that a shot. my one complaint so far is that the trial version doesn't seem to allow you to try out the different publishing settings (having huge problems trying to attach an icon at publishing time). does anyone else feel dirty typing javascript into Director? :-) cheers Fraser [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
