// output:

The following example is from the XML_languagePicker FLA file in the Examples directory

and can be found in the languageXML.onLoad event handler function definition:

// loop through the strings in each language node

// adding each string as a new element in the language array

for (var stringNode:XMLNode = childNode.firstChild; stringNode != null;

stringNode = stringNode.nextSibling, j++) {

masterArray[i][j] = stringNode.firstChild.nodeValue;

}
