FLASH: XML/Flash5.0

[steve]

Arrrggghh. <shakesFistAtSky>DAMN TECHNOLOGY!</shakeFistAtSky>


ok



All I am trying to is take the xml output from wimamp, suck it into 

flash and display it in a text field. I have this (I know has to be 

wrong) in flash:


varTemp = new XML();

varTemp.load("admin.xml");

if (varTemp.loaded) {

	varTemp.firstChild;

	varTruth = 0;

	while (varTruth == 0) {

		server = server + varTemp.attributes.SHOUTCASTSERVER;

		currentlisteners = currentlisteners + 

varTemp.attributes.currentlisteners;

		trace(server)

		if (varTemp.nextSibling == null) {

			varTruth = 1;

		}

	}

} else {

	varTemp = "failed!";

}


message = varTemp;

stop();


and this in the shoutcast XML doc:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

<!DOCTYPE SHOUTCASTSERVER [

<!ELEMENT SHOUTCASTSERVER 

(CURRENTLISTENERS,PEAKLISTENERS,MAXLISTENERS,REPORTEDLISTENERS,AVERAGETIME,SERVERGENRE,SERVERURL,SERVERTITLE,SONGTITLE,SONGURL,IRC,ICQ,AIM,WEBHITS,STREAMHITS,WEBDATA,LISTENERS,SONGHISTORY)>

<!ELEMENT CURRENTLISTENERS (#PCDATA)>


  (truncated for space)...


<!ELEMENT TITLE (#PCDATA)> ]>


<SHOUTCASTSERVER>

<CURRENTLISTENERS>0</CURRENTLISTENERS> <PEAKLISTENERS>1</PEAKLISTENERS>

<MAXLISTENERS>64</MAXLISTENERS> <REPORTEDLISTENERS>0</REPORTEDLISTENERS>

<AVERAGETIME>217</AVERAGETIME>


  (truncated for space) ...



<VIEWBAN>0</VIEWBAN> <UNRIPDST>0</UNRIPDST> <RIPDST>0</RIPDST>


can some at least tell me if I'm going in the right direction? I've 

checked most of the resources that I know of and can't seem to pin 

this sucker down.


Thanks in advance
