Have a look:

```auto

  for (j=0;j<artists*.firstChild.nextSibling.childNodes.length;j++){
	_root.totalCDs++;
	artist_names*[cdTitle[j]] = artists*.firstChild.nextSibling.childNodes[j].attributes.title;
	//item_mc.menu_item_btn.cdImg[j] = artists*.firstChild.childNodes.attributes.image;
	}

```

I’m trying to basically end up with:  
artist[0].cdTitle[0] = some title;  
artist[0].cdTitle[1] = second album name here;  
artist[0].cdTitle[2] = thrid album name;  
artist[1].cdTitle[0] = Thriller;  
artist[1].cdTitle[1] = Dangerous;  
etc…  
BUT, assigning this “artist\_names\*[cdTitle[j]]” doesn’t seem to work. What am I doing wrong?
