if you suffix your text field with _txt you will get the code hints for your box
then, you need to add .text to it. You should also add _root, or this, depending where your tet box is or you can assign the value to a variable such as _root.testimonial then on your text box, assign it to show the variable _root.testimonial cheers Jamie -----Original Message----- From: cfaussie@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Chris Velevitch Sent: 18 September 2006 05:01 To: cfaussie@googlegroups.com Subject: [cfaussie] Re: [OT] Problems with XML/Flash http://groups.google.com/group/flashaussie 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.
