      A little advice: next time increase the font size of the code, there is an option in edit > preferences for it.

      For another tuto… maybe a way to create an XML from flash (a dynamic swf able to i mean)? or maybe a way to create dinamic buttons (with dymaic functions) using info from a XML?

      Thanks!

      I am not sure if I am having a brain fart or not, but this is what I am curious about:

      Navigating the XML tree in AS3 = Simple enough.
      Loading Multiple XML files with your class = Very cool and easy enough.

      For some reason I can’t put the two together, I’m not sure if I am not thinking logically enough or not.

      My example is :

      url
      Image 1

      so lets say this is the 5th xml doc loaded in called “galleryfive” in your load array.

      I have been able to load the different XML doc’s easy enough, but retrieving the specific node information has stumped me.
