I'm trying to import xml data into Flash.
This works:
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var xmlData:XML = new XML();
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, LoadXML);
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("http://www.pachube.com/api/feeds/2356.xml";));
function LoadXML(e:Event):void {
xmlData = new XML(e.target.data);
ParseFeed(xmlData);
}
function ParseFeed(feedInput:XML):void {
trace("XML Output");
trace("------------------------");
trace(feedInput);
}
but when I try to filter by node, I don't get any output at all.
For instance, I thought using this
trace(feedInput.description.data);
would result in displaying only the data element, but it results in no info
at all being displayed via trace. Variations result in the same. I'm not a
programmer, and I think I must be misunderstanding the structure. I tried to
follow this guide:
http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flashcs3/using_xml_as3_pg3.htm
Ultimately my objective is to *only retrieve the value in the data value
element.* (42.0 in the example below)
Thanks for any help.

This is the xml file structure:

<description>Experimental feed which detects whether my cats are on the
catbed. Any number over 10 indicates a positive reading. :)</description>
