I've always found this to be a neater way to loop through loaded XML:
my_xml.onLoad = function()
{
for(var i = this.firstChild.firstChild; i; i = i.nextSibling)
{
trace(i.nodeName + ": " + i.firstChild.nodeValue);
}
};

it's better to check the load result with onLoad fuction:

obj.onLoad = function(success:Boolean):Void {
if (success) {
if (this.status == 0) {
// success
} else {
// failed to parse the xml
}
} else {
// path not found
}
}

I'm an extremely new user of Flash and Actionscript, and I have a very basic question:

What is an "AS Layer" and how do I create on?

-Thanks

I was disappointed that this didn't work for GIFs. :(

"What is an "AS Layer" and how do I create on?"

I assume "AS Layer" is short for "ActionScript Layer." Such a layer would have ActionScript code applied to a frame (or frames) on that layer, but the layer would not be used for anything else (such as text or image placement/animation).

How can I change the image size. Do I have to process the image to the desired width and height or can I change it

Weirdly the downloaded zip doesn't populate the xml either.

Had a similar error and changed it to a AS 2.0 file and it worked fine.

I would like some further explanation as to what parts of the code relate to what parts of the xml, how to load in more complex xml and something along those lines.

Thank you. This was very helpful. I am wondering though, how do I add a loop to this code? I want the last image to be followed by the first image in the XML file.

Thanks.
