Flex livedocs entry on this topic: http://livedocs.macromedia.com/ flex/2/docs/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm? context=LiveDocs_Parts&file=00001500.html You're code also looks a bit odd to me. I don't believe it will compile because the URLLoader constructors requires a URLRequest and won't accept a string value. I'm guessing you meant myLoader = new URLLoader(myXMLURL); HTH Chafic On Aug 12, 2006, at 8:45 PM, aaron smith wrote: > how do I load local XML? > > I was doing this: > > private function loadXML():void > { > myXML = new XML(); > myXMLURL = new URLRequest(XML_URL); > myLoader = new URLLoader(" menu.xml"); > myLoader.addEventListener("complete", xmlLoaded); > } > > private function xmlLoaded():void > { > myXML = XML(myLoader.data); > trace("Data loaded."); > } > > > > but it spits out errors.
