Hi,

Im totally new to XML and i have a flash component in my website that uses XML. It's called newsblock. it tells me to put an XML doc in the same file as my swf with the component.

Now here is my XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<news>
<date>04/05/2006</date>
<title_of_the_news>Welcome</title_of_the_news>
<news_text>Welcome to my website. this is the first news im writing in this website so have fun!</news_text>
</news>

Now if you check out http://www.benjidela.com, it doesn't work...
PS: Here is the actionscript in the component:

#initclip
function newsBlock() {
	_global.ref = this;
	this.init();
}
newsBlock.prototype = new MovieClip();
Object.registerClass("newsBlock",newsBlock);
// init
newsBlock.prototype.init = function() {
	ref._x = Math.round(ref._x);
	ref._y = Math.round(ref._y);
	ref.componentWidth = ref._width;
	ref.componentHeight = ref._height;
	ref._xscale = ref._yscale=100;
	ref.boundingBox_mc._visible = false;
	
	ref.add_borders();
	ref.attachMovie("textBlock_mc","textBlock_mc",5)

	ref.textBlock_mc.news_txt.textColor=this.t_color.toString(16)
	ref.textBlock_mc.news_txt.text = "loading XML data";
	
	ref.setSize(ref.componentWidth, ref.componentHeight);
