Loading XML Into Flash, Writing Better Code

Asked by rgarimella in Macromedia Flash

Hi Folks,

I am loading an XML document. Please see the flash file and look for the function processmaincontent(xmlDoc_xml)

How do I write better code than the one below so that I dont have to use the NextSibling procedure.

I was wondering if For Loops would be better and need help with that

thanks

RG
