With this code my button which contains the navigateToURL function opens my browser to [yahoo.com](http://yahoo.com) regardless of the url in the xml. Please review my code and let me know if you can see the problem.  
Thanks for any help

```auto
//variables:
stop();
var xmlData:XML = new XML();
var picList:XMLList = new XMLList();
var currentPic:int = 0;
var myTimer:Timer = new Timer(5000);
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var glow:GlowFilter = new GlowFilter();
var noglow:GlowFilter = new GlowFilter();
var url:XMLList = new XMLList();
var Request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
 
//functions
function onComplete(e:Event):void {
        myTimer.start();
        xmlData = new XML(loader.data);
        picList = xmlData.image;
        url = xmlData.image.url;
        updatePic(currentPic);
}
 
//how the xml is parsed
function updatePic(index:int):void {
 
        if (picList[index].url == undefined) {
                txtBox_mc.getTix.visible = false;
                trace("button null");
        } else {
                txtBox_mc.getTix.visible = true;
                trace("button there");
        }
        txtBox_mc.getTix.url = picList[index].url;
        txtBox_mc.EventHeader.htmlText = picList[index].caption1;
        txtBox_mc.EventDate.htmlText = picList[index].caption2;
        txtBox_mc.EventPlace.htmlText = picList[index].caption3;
        trace(picList[index].url);
        trace(picList[index].caption1);
        trace(picList[index].caption2);
        trace(picList[index].caption3);
        trace(index);
}
 
//function from button CLICK
function GetUrTix(event:MouseEvent):void {
        navigateToURL(Request);
