Can´t seem to add all the \<name\>gallery name \</name\> that I have in my XML.  
I only end up adding the one with the last iteration of [l].

Obviously I´m doing something wrong, and I´m not that good with for loops, so I´m really hoping that someone with better knowledge than me can help me out with this!

```auto
function loadwork(event:Event):void
	{
		workList = xml.item.name;

		workMenu.defaultTextFormat = myFormat;
		workMenu.wordWrap = true;
		workMenu.mouseEnabled = false;

		for (var l:int=0; l < workList.length(); l++)
		{
			workMenu.x = 10;
			workMenu.y = l * 30 + 240;
			workMenu.text = workList[l];
		}
		addChild(workMenu);
	}

```

That´s how far I´ve come using tutorials, going crazy now 🙂

Anyways, thanks in advance to any and all help in this matter!
