You have two errors that I can see...
1) You're encountering problems by using the "var" keyword. The var keyword
tells Flash to define the variable as a local variable. Because of this,
the "o" variable exits in the the mxXML, and not on the timeline where you
code is.
2) You're calling the trace before the xml data is actually loaded.
Rewrite your code to look like this:
#include "XMLtoObject.as"
myXml = new XML ();
mxXml.owner = this; // gives the xml object a refernece to the current
timeline
myXml.ignoreWhite = 1
myXml.onLoad = function (success){
if (success) {
this.owner.o = this.toObject ();
}
trace(this.owner.o.Section[1].Content[1]);
// clean up some memory by removing the unneed xml object -
// note that o will still exist since it exists in the owner
delete this;
}
myXml.load ("index.xml");
That should do it for you..
