I have been converting everything to as3 and been having trouble using getURL in xml. I have a gallery that just has a previous and next area which loads a new image as well as new text. All this works fine. I just have one button that will get a specific URL in my xml. Bascially the button should function like the rest except it is static and I am just incrementing though the node.

Example:  
\<NODE\>  
\<linkOutURL\>[www.1.com](http://www.1.com)\</linkOutURL\>  
\<linkOutTarget\>\_blank\</linkOutTarget\>  
\</NODE\>  
\<NODE\>  
\<linkOutURL\>[www.2.com](http://www.2.com)\</linkOutURL\>  
\<linkOutTarget\>\_blank\</linkOutTarget\>  
\</NODE\>

I can get the URL to function but it wants to pull up the last URL that is in my xml node.

I have attached my working files if anyone one is willing to take a look. Apoligies if something could be written different. This is my 2nd week from migrating to AS3
