Bill,
Take a look at kirupa's XML guide here:
http://www.kirupa.com/web/xml/XMLwayAround2.htm
I also came across the same problem some time ago. I decided not to play
with siblings because our xml schema (especially the order of the
sibling nodes) couldn't be predictable. So I went to a custom
You might want to try using my XMLParser class. It translates the XML into
ActionScript-friendly arrays/objects.

Steven,
It would be cool if you made a version of that that was mtasc compatible...

If your data is that consistent and all you need is to transfer it to
arrays, then why do you need xpath, you could write your own parser,
using while loops, to do this in very little time.
I'm not an experrt, but it seems to me that xpath is more useful for
dynamic access to the xml. Is that not
Hi,
My data is not this simple or static.
I gave this sample XML just to explain the structure.
The XML is going to be dynamic, hence I need to parse it using
something like XPATH (I suppose).

To use Xpath, if you are using the xfactorstudios classes (I don't know
much about the built in Xpath features of Flash), you can access a
string like:
String(XPath.selectNodes(theXMLobject, thePathToTheNode)
Or for a number:
parseInt(XPath.selectNodes(theXMLobject, thePathToTheNode)[0]);

If it was up to me, I would redo the XML to be a bit more concise and
more standard.

I agree with Ron on the XML, I didn't mention it earlier because I
didn't look that closely, but that XML format you created needs a major
overhaul. I would go with his recommended format.

I have heard also (have not tested myself) that parsing attributes is much
quicker as well.

In my experience, on small data sets, it makes little difference.
However, using attributes over nodes can in some cases decrease the
actual size of the XML file or string by a factor of 3 or 4, do this can

Hi Ron,
I can modify the XML structure and will not be a problem , I will try
your suggested solution.

Hope to get to a solution soom, but the discussion is surely helping

If you get a nice clean XML structure, XPath will save you a lot of code.
It takes a bit of getting used to but it will make your life easier.

Matt,
On a reasonably fast computer, a file of 4600+ XML nodes can be slurped in
under one second, required download time aside.
Your XML requirements are not that steep, so it seems to me that your
issue is likely something else not completely obvious in your code sample.
Suggestions:

At first glance it seems to be doing a lot inside the while statement. That
could account for the lag. 15 times through the loop could slow things
down, especially if you're instantiating a moviecliploader each time around.

Or you could just use XML2AS

if (r[k=n.nodeName] == null) r = ((a=r[k]=[{}]))[d=0];

Do you know of a good resource that might explain this to me? It's a bit
over my head at this point.
