Could I have a look at the portion of your code that read the XML?

Could I have a look at the portion of your code that read the XML?

Okay here's the code but I don't think that's the problem as it works fine with
a static XML file of the same name.  I'm just looking for a sample of the data
loaded at the moment to see if it's working.

import com.xfactorstudio.xml.xpath.*;
countsXML = new XPathDocument();

countsXML.onLoad = function(ok) {
    // trace ("allcounts.aspx loaded");
    var products = this.selectNodes("/allcounts/TBL_GUI_COUNTS[./ZONE =
'ZONE_4_E']/COUNTS/text()");
    trace (products);
    trans_e_c.cnt.text = products
}

countsXML.load("allcounts.aspx")

There is a similar topic here that suggested that maybe it's trying to read the
data before the file has actually loaded.  Could that be the case here as well?
If so, how do I make sure the asp file has loaded before trying to read the
XML it contains?

Never mind.  It turns out the asp.net page was not spitting out XML but  rather a page formatted to appear like XML in the browser.  I took out the formatting and it works fine.
