For example you have an XML file of name "myxml.xml" inside the same directory of your fla with the following contents:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<myrootnode>

   <mychildnode id="1">Something111</mychildnode>

   <mychildnode id="2">Something222</mychildnode>

</myrootnode>

//

//You can load it through the URLLoader class:

var cXmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

var cUrlReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("myxml.xml");

cXmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onXmlLoad);

cXmlLoader.load(cUrlReq);

function onXmlLoad(oEvent:Object):void

{

   XML.ignoreWhitespace = true;

   var cXmlData:XML = new XML(oEvent.target.data);

   trace(cXmlData.mychildnode[0]);

   trace(cXmlData.mychildnode[1]);

}

If you had more child nodes under each of the child nodes then you could access them by simple dot notation using their node names.

        }
    }
}

Hey, something weird just happened. I received your reply but instead of your display name, it was "Adobe Forums <forums@adobe.com>", that's weird. Anyway. I don't see any problem with your code. It works fine in my setup. Just make sure your file has the same name as the class name "dataxml" and it is in the same directory as your fla and use this code in the fla:

import xmldata;

var cXmlData:xmldata = new xmldata();

I receive the trace of the xml content. Are there any errors you received?

you can try this example.it uses URLLoader in flex to extract XML data
