Hi Troy...
> If that doesn't work, post your parsing code.
I took your suggestion and did a makeList() function in the object
inspector, and it worked (thank you).
However, I'd rather not look at the data that way. I'd still just like
to get a simple tree view. Is this possible?
Thanks,
Michael M.
OK, here's my code below: A method of a parent called gData:
______________________________________________
on mLoadAndGo(me, whichCast)
pCurrentCast = whichCast
pParsed = gXML.parseString(member("theXML", pCurrentCast).text) --
doesn't show up as tree view
-- does it hold here until done?????????
if voidP(pParsed) then -- if done parsing and no error
-- do stuff
else
alert("XML not parsed!")
end if
end
______________________________________________
Also, one other question, does lingo hold on the parseString line until
it's done parsing, or does it automatically continue?

If you are sure that is what contains the parsed data, and not the Xtra
itself, then you have several ways -
Highlight and drag the variable name to the Object inspector.
Highlight the name, and click the "view in Object Inspector" icon in
the script window toolbar.
Type the variable name into the left column in the Object Inspector.
It works - I do it all the time.
Try this test - instantiate the XTRA into a variable. Parse the data.
Use the "makeList" function to move the data into a new variable. Take
a look at that variable's contents in the Object Inspector. You might
get different results.
