GDownloadUrl is asynchronous. That means it gets on with the job behind the scenes and then calls the "callback function" to deal with the results when it's finished. Your callback function defines the variable "xml". Once GDownloadUrl has started to do its stuff, the main execution carries on in the foreground. The next line tries to use "xml", which is only defined in the callback function, and that hasn't run yet. You need to do everything with "xml" **inside** the callback function. Mike has an explanation of asynchronous code in his tutorial http://econym.org.uk/gmap Andrew --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
