It is very easy to load and parse XML in Action Script 3.0

Suppose we have xml like this -

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?> <images>
<image>
    <url>"first.jpg"</url>
</image>
<image>
    <url>"Second.jpg"</url>
</image>
<image>
    <url>"Third.jpg"</url>
</image><images>

So for load and parse we have few lines code below :

public function loadXML():void
{
              //path of xml file
          var url:String = "...//images.xml"
          var imagesLoader:URLLoader =  new URLLoader()
          try
           {

              var imagesURL:URLRequest=new URLRequest(url)
              imagesLoader.load(imagesURL)
              imagesLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,loadImages)
              imagesLoader.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IOERROR,ioError)
           }
          catch(e)
           {

           }
    }

    public function ioError(evt:IOErrorEvent):void
    {
           trace("ERROR")
    }


    private function loadImages(evt:Event):void
    {   

        var  itemsXML:XML= new XML(evt.target.data)
        for each (var image:XML in xmlData.image)
       {
                trace("get images url ",image.url)  
       }
    }

May be it would help !
