[url=http://www.ultrashock.com]http://www.ultrashock.com[/url] has at least one tutorial on xml [url=http://www.moock.org/asdg/codedepot/]http://www.moock.org/asdg/codedepot/[/url] has at least one demo file [url=http://www.were-here.com/]http://www.were-here.com/[/url] has a whole forum area devoted to Flash and xml I know Flash has some real limitations - handling white space for one - everything I've done, I've had a text editor strip the white space and it works fine. It also isn't a validating parser, so if Word is putting in a definition file if will confuse Flash. I don't want to sound negative - when you get it to work it's awesome. Just be aware that Flash's xml parser needs some coddling. I haven't gotten ahold of MX yet, but I can only assume MX has some real xml refinements. I do know that the beta Flash 6 player plug in whips through xml far faster than the Flash 5 plug in did. Good luck! Loading...
