How to get the contents inside a XML tag to create an array?

Here is the XML file:

<SketchPad>
<Player>
    <TotalPage>2</TotalPage>
    <BackgroundImage>/Users/ltlab/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/5.1/Applications/D84490FE-3450-456C-A8FE-16BE8B1EB12C/Documents/publicUser_1356864779.441782_local.png</BackgroundImage>
    <Name>1</Name>
    <SelfBackgroundImage>sound.png</SelfBackgroundImage>
    <Type>Record</Type>
    <X_Value>0.000000</X_Value>
    <Y_Value>38.000000</Y_Value>
    <Height_Value>50.000000</Height_Value>
    <Width_Value>50.000000</Width_Value>
    <File_Path>null</File_Path>
</Player>
<Player>
    <TotalPage>2</TotalPage>
    <BackgroundImage>/Users/ltlab/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/5.1/Applications/D84490FE-3450-456C-A8FE-16BE8B1EB12C/Documents/publicUser_1356864779.441782_local.png</BackgroundImage>
    <Name>1</Name>
    <SelfBackgroundImage>8_128x128.png</SelfBackgroundImage>
    <Type>Stamp</Type>
    <X_Value>7.000000</X_Value>
    <Y_Value>716.000000</Y_Value>
    <Height_Value>80.000000</Height_Value>
    <Width_Value>80.000000</Width_Value>
    <File_Path>null</File_Path>
</Player>
<Player>
    <TotalPage>2</TotalPage>
    <BackgroundImage>/Users/ltlab/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/5.1/Applications/D84490FE-3450-456C-A8FE-16BE8B1EB12C/Documents/publicUser_1356864779.441782_local.png</BackgroundImage>
    <Name>1</Name>
    <SelfBackgroundImage>duck.png</SelfBackgroundImage>
    <Type>Stamp</Type>
    <X_Value>570.000000</X_Value>
    <Y_Value>715.000000</Y_Value>
    <Height_Value>80.000000</Height_Value>
    <Width_Value>80.000000</Width_Value>
    <File_Path>null</File_Path>
</Player>
</SketchPad>


What I want to do is to collect all the data inside the tag .

$(xml).find("X_Value").toArray();

But it returns an array still containing the tag like this:

[<x_value>0.0000000<x_value>,<x_value>7.0000000<x_value>,<x_value>570.0000000<x_value>]

Not an expected array: [0.0000000,7.0000000,570.0000000]

How can I do to directly extract the values inside the tag, making an array?

I don't really know how to manipulate the jQuery.map().

Use this instead...

$(xml).find("X_Value").map(function() { return $(this).text(); }).get();

Your previous example is getting a reference to those elements. This replaces the references with the inner text.
