JAVASCRIPT PROBLEM in designer!

Question

hello.
i used javascript for professional for some time and wouldnt say i had any serious problems... eventually i worked things out.. but the same scripts on designer do not work.. all i can do is app.alert() .. thats the only thing that works - if i add an if statement (on mouse up) such as
if radiobutton.value == "1"
app.alert()
it doesnt do anything.. could someone please help?
what is so different that nothing works!?

Hi David,
I did go through your suggestions in the above said thread.
But I need this to work on the loading of the pdf and not on a button click.
This is the code I tried on form:ready event:
if(app.viewerVersion >=7)
event.target.importDataObject("xmldata","/E/testxml.xml");
var oData = event.target.getDataObjectContents("xmldata");
var sData = util.stringFromStream(oData);
var oXML = testxml.parse(sData, true);
event.target.removeDataObject("xmldata");
app.alert(oXML.Name.value);
It gave me the following error:
TypeError: Invalid argument type.
Global.getDataObjectContents:12:initialize undefined:Exec
===> Parameter cName.
NotAllowedError: Security settings prevent access to this property or method.
Global.importDataObject:3:Doc undefined:Open
Any suggestions would be very welcome as I am hard pressed for time.
Thanks a lot for your help.
