Thanks so much Carl for all your help and tutorials. You're an excellent teacher. However, XMLLoader tutorials seem to be all obsessed with loading images from an external folder. In the real world, we primarily use text to communicate... especially animated text for marketing or for information design. If I could load an image of a moose that can sell a product, I would but, animated text communicates better. Walk into a marketing company and tell them you know how to load images from an XML file and they will say "Thanks, bye." But, tell them you know how to load text from an XML file and have that text animate on their web-ready screen at their point of purchase display... and, they will fall all over themselves to hire you. Yet, there are no tutorials showing in a complete process, how to fill a textfield with text from an external XML file and animate it with splittextfield. Have you been out in the marketplace recently? Notice all the screen displays? They are hungry for information Carl. Greensock text animation is perfectly poised to satisfy that need and yet... tutorials are about loading pictures for gaming or site design or photo galleries or eye candy. If you want people to use this magnificent Greensock platform, you're going to have to show them how. Just one tutorial showing how to load XML text and animate it, would empower thousands around the world. We don't need another tutorial showing how to load images of a moose... or two mooses... which would be meeses... or maybe just meese... sorta like mice... but, bigger.

Hi Carl, Ultimately I seek a way for others to type their text into an XML file and then have that text animate in an html page. So, I guess what I need is GSAP/Flash to make that happen. To do that, I would have to purchase and learn Greensock and loading XML and split text animation using my Flash CS5 on Mac. Before doing that, I would like to know if it even possible to animate XML text. I tried it years ago and could not get it to work. Perhaps with new versions, it is now possible.

Is it possible to populate a text field with text imported from an XML document then, animate that text with splittextfield? I have found very little information about doing this. Some say it can be done but no where have I found a demo, sample or tutorial showing how. It seems to me the ability to upload an XML text file and have GreenSock GSAP load that XML text and animate it in a browser would be huge. Seeing as how no one is talking about it makes me think it cannot be done but, I'd like to know definitively.

Hi, I've purchased the $99 membership last week and have sent emails asking to see the source code and have received no response. It was not part of the download package and there are no links to it on the site. Anybody have any idea how I can get the source code as promised?
