This looks something like below…

Initially I thought yeah, easy enough but the problem is that with the namespace declared in the 2nd line but not used at all within the document I cant get Flash to transverse the tree, I just get a blank trace as soon as I try anything other than the root XML.

i.e.

var xml:XML;
var xmlLoader:URLLoader;
xmlLoader = new URLLoader();
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, xmlLoaded);
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest(“xspf.xml”));

function xmlLoaded(e:Event):void
{
    xml = XML(e.currentTarget.data);
    trace(“This first trace works!!”);
    trace(xml)
    trace(“\nThis second trace doesn’t work”)
    trace(xml.trackList);
}

Annoyingly the namespace isn’t actually used but it cant be removed as this is the format the player must play with Even more annoyingly the declared namespace isn’t even there - broken link. If I try the above code and delete the namespace it works as expected.

Ive tried using the xml.removeNamespace(…) command

var xspf:Namespace = xml.namespace();
var xml2:XML = xml.removeNamespace(xspf);

but this only removes namespace instances, not the declaration and so it still doesnt work

Can anyone help fix this? Ive attached the fla (CS3) and an xml file in case anyone has a spare 5 minutes…

Cheers,

Matt / MSFX
