Thanks, I tend to agree, however, I will move to the flash beginners mail
list, I just hope there are people there who are not as lost as me, as that
probably wont help :-)

Thanks you as well, at least I am not the first to trip up on this, its a

Hi,
Apologies, I missed your other question:
You can extend the XML object to include a reference to its parent -
which would contain a function that allowed you to parse it and do
things with your movie, like so:
var external_xml:XML = new XML();
external_xml.parent = this;

You have to use a function because the loading is asynchronous. It
doesn't stop program flow while it's loading; it continues with the
program and calls a handler (onLoad) once the load is complete.
I'm not sure this is the proper forum for n00b questions

I'm not quite that new, but I think I can tackle this issue.
onLoad is in a function because the actual load takes place asynchronously.
If you put another statement immediately after the external_xml.load it
would execute (probably) before the xml finished loading.
To resolve your issue I'd move
Hi,
You will need to move external_xml.load call below the onLoad
function because your file will probably be loaded before the handler is
defined (locally).
with trace(myXML) you have defined "myXML" inside the function -
this means it is not in scope outside the function. Try:

Hi, downloaded Flash, 1st post! w00t! need to work out a small project. I
have experience in programming, not specifically OOP, and actionscript seems
to be very OOP. I few questions:
I am loading up some XML per an example:
//ignore whitespace
XML.prototype.ignoreWhite = true;
//create variabl
