Adding another XML field to AS2 script

AS2 newbie here, and I want to know if anybody can help me with the following code. Basically what I want to do is add another field to an XML file that is already being used to populate a AS2 news scroller that I got from activeden. You will notice that I have tried duplicate the day field and add a month field in but it does not seem to be working. Any help would be greatly appreciated. My code is below.

XML:

<?xml version=".0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<xml>

<settings 

newswidth      = "320"
newsheight     = "390"
timer          = "200"
bgAlpha        = "90"
dateColor      = "0xEAEAEA"
newsBgColor    = "0x3E3E3E"
dateBgColor    = "0x3E3E3E"
navIconColor   = "0x222222"
navBgColor     = "0xFFFFFF"
>

</settings>

<allnews>
    <news>              
        <day开发者_StackOverflow中文版><![CDATA[<a href="http://activeden.net/user/designesia">01</a>]]></day>
        <month>DEC</month>
        <text><![CDATA[<a href="http://activeden.net/user/designesia">Recalls</a>]]></text>

    </news> etc.

Have you defined myxml as an variable and an XML object anywhere?

Your XML references all work for me (including the month) as soon as I add it. It should be placed before you attempt to load the XML, like below:

var myxml = new XML();   
myxml.ignoreWhite = true;
myxml.load("news.xml");
