Flash Tutorial – XML and AS3
So you aren’t sold yet on making the switch from as2 to as3? This simple tutorial might do the trick. It shows the incredibly intuitive actionscript 3 method of loading an xml with flash and reading the data. It covers creating the URLLoader, reading the xml, including attributes and html text, without ever having to use firstChild or childNodes.

Everyone should swtch to AS3, Push AS2 off a cliff. lol
Aside from E4X, You have things such a cleaner code, faster processing, creation of AIR apps, new Drawing API, DisplayList, MAKES MORE SENSE.
Hey Lance, is there anyway other people can make screencasts for FlashDen?
E4X rules, and AS3 rules, I switch to as3 about a year ago and I love it from the first moment, as2 cant stand near as3, its like pseudo code…
Lance,
You did a great job. Its nice hearing your voice. I was wondering if I can submit some AS2 tutorials here?
good tutorial Lance.
excellent tutorial. hope to see more like this.
awesome tutorial!
might be a nice idea to include the source code
Nice tutorial.
Please dont do any AS2 tutorials, push people towards AS3
Agreed, I would recommending minimizing the AS2 tutorials to none. The path of Flash is moving ahead with AS3, so should everyone else. For those who haven’t made the switch yet, you’ll do fine industry for now.
However, if you don’t make that jump soon, you’ll be kicking yourself wishing you had made the decision of migrate over to AS3 a lot sooner.
By the way Lance, nice video.
Lance, you know you kinda sound like Jack Nicholson =D
nice tut……..thanx so much but even u push in scrollbars and panning tutorials also provide….
Brilliant – Thanks for this – I know what it’s like to code in AS2 for XML – I’m sold on AS3
