@kentkan Happy to help, but you need to tell us exactly what you're wanting to do with XML (and why JSON mightn't do it better).

hi, theres a decent xml tutorial here, its basically like any markup language, you just have to know the tags, xml is quite basic remember to open <xml> and close with </xml>, inside you can use whatever tags you like.

@xeed: You can get your XML string thanks to the AJAX plugin.
You might also want to check how to use project files in construct 2.

There's also an example of using the XML object in Construct 2's examples folder (in the install directory).

Thank you Ashley. But I am still confused...for the XML Object i need to enter the XML Data in the "load" window, right? So the XML Object is not to load XML Data, but kind of integrated XML Sheet in C2?

@Kyatric: Is there any example for loading XML Sheets via Ajax? The documentation does not bring me forward in this case.

Many thanks :)

Quote Loading XML data

If you want to read an XML file stored with the project, import the XML file as a project file. Then you can use the AJAX object's Request project file action to download the file, and then load the result in to the XML object. The events below show how this can be done.



In the very documentation I linked about project files in C2.
