Hello i just got a very small problem which i know i’ll get the answer here…i’m new in this so i couldn’t figure it out after trying for sooo long…I’m just trying to load a single image based on its id from an xml file…The xml looks something like this:

```auto
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<gallery>
	<item image="photos/photo01.jpg" image_id = "100" />
	<item image="photos/photo02.jpg" image_id = "101" />
        <item image="photos/photo03.jpg" image_id = "102" />
</gallery>

```

The AS code is

```auto
var my_xml = new XML()
my_xml.ignoreWhite = true
	my_xml.load("gallery.xml")
my_xml.onLoad = function(success){
trace("success")
if(success){
for(i=0;i < my_xml.firstChild.childNodes.length; i++){
	var img = my_xml.firstChild.childNodes*
	var id = img.attributes.image_id
	var path = img.attributes.image
	trace(id) [COLOR="Red"](this gives the id ie 100,101,102)[/COLOR]
	id = path
	trace(id)[COLOR="red"](this gives photos/photo01, photos/photo02 and so on)[/COLOR]

}
}
			holder1.loadMovie(_root.id)
}

```

Now in the html i have specified index.swf?id = 100 but it does not show anything…Any ideas anyone??
