programming flash

Okay I have a few list boxes that im loading links into from an xml file. I can get the text for the link loaded in fine by im doing something wrong when it comes to actually making the link. I cant get the links to work.

Here is my as


///////////xml code///////////////////////////
var vlist:XML = new XML;
vlist.ignoreWhite = true;

vlist.onLoad = function(){
	var items:Array = this.firstChild.childNodes;
	for(i=0;i<items.length;i++){
		if(items*.attributes.type == "policy"){
		policylist.addItem(items*.attributes.name,items*.attributes.url);
		}
		if(items*.attributes.type == "procedure"){
		procedurelist.addItem(items*.attributes.name,items*.attributes.url);
		}
		if(items*.attributes.type == "link"){
		linklist.addItem(items*.attributes.name,items*.attributes.url);
		}
		if(items*.attributes.type == "download"){
		downloadlist.addItem(items*.attributes.name,items*.attributes.url);
		}
	}
}

var pol:Object = new Object();

pol.change = function(){
	getURL(policylist.getItemAt(policylist.selectedIndex).url);
	policylist.addEventListener("change",pol);
}
vlist.load("../itnavigation.xml");
/////////////////////////////////////////////
