Please guide me to set things right.

  • You need a root element. You can only have one root element in an XML file.

    "<?xml version=""1.0""?>
<builds>
  <build>
    <xpos>500</xpos>
    <ypos>500</ypos>
  </build>

  <build>
    <xpos>100</xpos>
    <ypos>200</ypos>
  </build>
</builds>

  • ramones Thank you for that. I fixed it with this code 

    "<?xml version=""1.0""?>
<object>

<build id=""0"">
<xpos>250</xpos>
<ypos>250</ypos>
</build>

<build id=""1"">
<xpos>350</xpos>
<ypos>250</ypos>
</build>

</object>"
[/code:16q6eh65]

Now I'm trying to assign the [b]object instant variable[/b] with the build id in the code above and the event below. Its not working.

  • Set oid to XML.NumberValue("@id") and put that just below the "create object Sprite" action.

    Also for it to work in IE you'd need to use "xpos/text()" and "ypos/text()".
