Want to place advanced color behavior in XML file

Question

Hey all,  I've got a question about how to integrate advanced color/radial effects. I'm new to XML and got not a clue how to integrate the one code in the other.  Hopefully somebody can point out to me how to integrate the effects in my config file
This is my config file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<template_config  bgColor="0x000000" handlerOpacity="100" textColor="0xFFFFFF" logoUrl="logo.png" defaultBg="kandidaten.swf" bgMusic="false" startSound="false">

Answer 1

Lets take for example you are having the response in following format
response := '<Response>
<r><name></name><r>
<r><name></name><r>
</Response>'
Convert it to XMLTYPE using the following
xml_type := XMLTYPE(response);
select extractvalue(xml_type,'/Response/r[1]/name') into result from dual;
'1' in [1] refers to the index of the similiar node.(r node)
