I have this xml file: http://trail.motionbased.com/trail/export.mb?episodePkValues=5413584&tra iningCenterExport.courseMode=true <http://trail.motionbased.com/trail/export.mb?episodePkValues=5413584&tr ainingCenterExport.courseMode=true> The structure is like this: <TrainingCenterDatabase> <Courses> <CourseFolder> <Course> <Track> <Trackpoint/> <Trackpoint/> <Trackpoint/> I want to get to the Trackpoint data. In my App I have (I renamed the file): <mx:XML id="dataSet" source="data/frankTT.xml" format="e4x" /> Then to put it into an XMLList I go: var myXML:XML = dataSet[0] var myXMLList:XMLList = myXML..TrackPoint That doesn't work though, myXMLList is empty! How do I walk this file? Thanks! Nate
