Sure...the reason is that in all the xml files I'm pulling in, I know the
structure, it's the same for all. There's only one <item> tag in each xml
file. So, I don't need an xmllist, given that there's only one item, I can
just call toString(). But, I see where you're coming from with an xmllist.
That would be the way I'd go if there were more than one <item> tags in each
file. Maybe the name of the tag, item, is misleading. I suppose that would be
a case of semantics.
Ultimately, I only need to call this line (using Greensock's XMLLoader):
private static function getTextContentComplete(le:LoaderEvent):void{
var xmlData:XML = XML(le.target.content);
var cdataContent:String = xmlData.toString();
// not needed...strip CDATA tags: string.replace(new
RegExp("(^\<!\[CDATA\[)(.+)(\]\]\>)", "gi"), "$2");
// populate my textfield.htmlText with cdataContent;
}
Each xml file I read in has this structure:
===============================================
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<item>
<![CDATA[some html formatted text]]>
</item>
Hope that's all clear.

OK, maybe I don't understand your XML structure. Why would what you settled on:
var kids:XMLList = xmlData.children();
var kidscdata:String = kids[0].toString();
be a better solution for you than this?
var myString:String = xmlData[0].text();
Can you post some sample XML?
