Hello,

I've narrowed down the code to this (ignore the colourization):

var theXML:XML = 
    <xml>
        word
    </xml>;

for each (var i:XML in theXML.*) {
    trace(i);
}

For some reason, this prints out "word" over and over indefinitely. Any thoughts as to why? I'm a bit out of practice and have a feeling it's something obvious, but I'm stumped.

Thanks, Cameron

Finding it interesting I just tested. The result is just one single "word", as expected.

Probably you have placed it into an ENTER_FRAME/TIMER event handler or eventually on a frame on the timeline that gets looped.

Argh, you're right, the function it's in is being called over and over for some reason. I feel so silly! Thanks a lot!

No P, it's always the most obvious things you don't see.
