title>Lab/title>
/icon5>
icon6>
title>Settings/title>
/icon6>
icon7>
title>Recycle/title>
/icon7>
/navigation>
<< missing the < so it will appear on the board..

// ==========================================
navdata = new XML();
navdata.load("nav.xml");
navlist = new Array();
function myOnLoad () {
_root.window5.icon_name = navdata.firstChild.firstChild.firstChild.firstChil d.nodeValue;
_root.window4.icon_name = navdata.firstChild.firstChild.nextSibling.firstChi ld.firstChild.nodeValue;
_root.window1.icon_name = navdata.firstChild.firstChild.nextSibling.firstChi ld.nodeValue;
_root.window3.icon_name = navdata.firstChild.firstChild.nextSibling.nodeName ;
_root.window2.icon_name = navdata.firstChild.firstChild.nextSibling.nodeName ;
_root.window7.icon_name = navdata.firstChild.firstChild.nextSibling.nodeName ;
_root.window6.icon_name = navdata.firstChild.firstChild.nextSibling.nodeName ;
}
navdata.onLoad = myOnLoad;
stop ();

but this only gets the first 2 variables successfully..

I'm going to be posting some Open Source stuff in the next 3 days... it'll help you understand what's going on...

I'd recommend using childNodes instead of firstChild/nextSibling... it's a bit different, but easier to use and understand.
