Read external xml file

Question

hi,
I want to load (some of the) content of an xml file into an
array. (actionscript in FLEX)
I found an example at the flex documentation (
over
here
but when i try this examle:
quote:
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
var myXML:XML = new XML();
var XML_URL:String = "http://www.example.com/Sample3.xml";
var myXMLURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest(XML_URL);
var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(myXMLURL);
myLoader.addEventListener("complete", xmlLoaded);
function xmlLoaded(evtObj:Event) {
myXML = XML(myLoader.data);
trace("Data loaded.");
]]>
</mx:Script>
i get two errors:
- 1120: Acces of undifined property myLoader.
- 1120: Acces of undifined property mxLoaded
Can anyone tell me how i can solve this problem?

You can't do all that stuff outside a function. The variables
do not exist until they all have been created during the object
instantiation.
Declare the variables in the global scope, then do the value
assignments in a function, say initApp(), that you call in the
creationComplete event on the Application tag.
