Hi,

I am trying to add an image to my stage from an XML file. I have loaded my XML into Flash and traced my image url but I ma stuck on the next step…adding the image into an MC

```auto
var slidesX:XML;
var picList:XMLList;
var currentPic:Number=0;

var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete);
loader.load(new URLRequest("slideshow.xml"));

			
function onComplete(e:Event):void {
	slidesX = new XML(loader.data);
	picList = slidesX.image;
	
	for (var i:uint = 0; i < picList.length(); i++)
	{
	trace(picList*.url);
	}
}

```

Any help would be great.
