Valid XML

[Aquilo]

I was going to try and make my second flash movie read an XML file
and play with it in the movie, I was just wondering if this is valid
XML output!

I worked through the bugs that caused XML errors loading like having
to replace double quotes with single quotes so it wouldn't complain about
needing a white space, and a few other errors but is this real XML that Flash
can read??

IE actually validates xml.... so, yes, it's valid xml. (you can click on it and it shows nicely.)

IE is cool like that!

thanks! I just did'nt know if it was structured right or anything becouse when opened in notepad everything is messed up but as I was writing this I think it's becouse windows uses \r not \n 

any way thanks!!!

OK!

I've tryed looking for what is making this XML not parse and it has something to due
with the World Series line IE says it a white space and Mozila is no help ether. I have restructured the output and everything but it still don't like the World Series!?!?

could anyone spot the problem I can't it just don't like the World Series, and that sucks!

It's the &.  It should either be in a CDATA or an entity.
