Is 'testimonials_text' the name of the text field? Or the name of the variable bound to the text field? In which case you don't need the '.text' in the assignment.
Is the field definitely dynamic? Also not something silly like white text on white bg? Do you need to embed characters into the field maybe? Try embedding all upper and lower case letters and numbers to see if it fixes the problem. > -----Original Message----- > From: cfaussie@googlegroups.com > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chris Velevitch > Sent: Monday, 18 September 2006 2:14 PM > To: cfaussie@googlegroups.com > Subject: [cfaussie] Re: [OT] Problems with XML/Flash > > > Try:- > > testimonials_text.text = this.firstChild.childNodes[ > randomNumber ].nodeValue; > > On 9/17/06, Taco Fleur <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > Can anyone tell me what has taken the place of the Deamon > Flash list? > > > > I am having some issues with a Flash movie that is supposed > to load an > > XML file and display a random testimonial, I know the file > loads ok, > > because when I do a trace on this.firstChild.childNodes[ > randomNumber > > ].firstChild.nodeValue it outputs the right value.
