    Hey people! Can someone shoot me and put me out of my misery?!?!?XML is driving me crazy.

    Here is my code first before I get into my prob:
    ****(I hope it shows up right, I had to change my "for" statment it wont show up right "i is 0, i lessThan productCount, i incrememnt")
    =============================================
    //functions
    function getLoaded(success){
    productCount=xmlObj.firstChild.childNodes.length
    nodeObj=xmlObj.firstChild.childNodes
    for(i=0,i<productCount,i++){
    duplicateMovieClip(gallery.pic,"pic"+i,i)
    set("gallery.pic"+i+".picName",nodeObj.attributes. name)
    setProperty("gallery.pic"+i,_x,80+(i*(width+10)))
    }

    }
    //INIT Vars
    dupCount=0
    countX=0
    countY=0
    width=gallery.pic._width
    //meat
    stop()
    //XML
    xmlObj= new XML
    xmlObj.load("mydoc.xml")
    xmlObj.onLoad=getLoaded
    ================================================== ====

    I am trying to get a MC to duplicate(which works fine), the movie consists of a pic and a lable. the movie duplicates the correct # of times but I cant get the lable to show up. I have tried the method above, as well as going directly into the mc and lableing the text field like this "picName=_parent._parent.nodeObj.attributes.na me" but it only come back as undefined. I am so confused. please help. Any resources or anything would be great!

    Thanks in advance!

    Uhh...

    Righ off the bat - you're using the attributes method wrong. If you are setting an attribute use dot notation. If you are accessing the value held in an attribute you need to use the Array access operators - square brackets.

    valueToHold = nameOFXMLObj.attributes['nameOfAttribute']

    Cool?
