Problem Reading XML - Help!

[intromo]

I"m having issues defining values in my AS from the XML. For some reason my AS won't read my XML File. See below. Am I missing anything?

I've been going through this for hours and can't figure out what I'm missing.

AS:

var newsWidth=300;//news tricker width;
var newsHeight=335;//news tricker height;
var itemspace=15;//between two item space.
var speed=40;//slide speed.

system.useCodepage=true;
Stage.scaleMode = "noscale";
// -- draw rectangle
MovieClip.prototype.drawrect = function(pos_x, pos_y, w, h) {
	// --
	this.px = pos_x;
	this.py = pos_y;
	this.an = w;
	this.al = h;
	// --
	with (this) {
		beginFill(0x000000, 30);
		moveTo(px, py);
		lineTo(px+an, py);
		lineTo(px+an, py+al);
		lineTo(px, py+al);
		lineTo(px, py);
		endFill();
	}
};
// -- format text
myFormat = new TextFormat();
myFormat.font = "verdana";
myFormat.size = 20;
myFormat.color = 0x000000;


// xml parsing.
xmlParse = function (xmlObj) {
	this = xmlObj;
	var xpos = 0;
	var ypos =0;
	for (var i = 0; i<this.firstChild.childNodes.length; i++) {
		item = newsTicker_mc.attachMovie("Ticker_mc", "Ticker"+i, 100+i);
		//item.mytext.embedFonts = true;
		item.main.mytext.autoSize = true;
		item.main.mytext.text = this.firstChild.childNodes[i].attributes.mytext;
		item.mylink = this.firstChild.childNodes[i].attributes.links;
		item.main.mytext.setTextFormat(myFormat);
		item._x = xpos;
		item._y = ypos;
		ypos += item.main.mytext.textHeight+itemspace;
		// --
		item.onRelease = function() {
			this.main.mytext.textColor = 0x000000;
			// -- open the link
			getURL(this.mylink, target="_blank");
		};
		// --
		item.onRollOver = function() {
			this.news.mytext.textColor = 0x000000;
			// --clear interval
			clearInterval(idInterval);
		};
		// --
		item.onRollOut=item.onReleaseOutside = function() {
			this.main.mytext.textColor = 0x000000;
			// -- re setInterval,go on move
			idInterval = setInterval(scrollit, speed, this._parent);
		};
	}
};

// --load xml
myXML = new XML();
myXML.ignoreWhite = true;
myXML.onLoad = function(succes) {
	if (succes) {
		xmlParse(this);
	} else {
		trace("Error al cargar datos");
	}
};

myXML.load("http://tabletrac/tv/text/L.xml");

// --define scroll
scrollit = function (myclip) {
	myclip._y -= 1;
	updateAfterEvent();
	// -- hitTest

	if (!myclip.hitTest(maskTicker)) {
		myclip._y = maskTicker._y+maskTicker._height+50;
	}
};

// -- create mask
this.createEmptyMovieClip("maskTicker", this.getNextHighestDepth());
this.maskTicker.drawrect(newsTicker_mc._x, newsTicker_mc._y, newsWidth, newsHeight);
newsTicker_mc.setMask(this.maskTicker);
// -- setInterval

idInterval = setInterval(scrollit, speed, newsTicker_mc);
