Flash and xml...please debug my code

Please don’t runaway…

Thanks for looking into this question…Please help…Here my question is…

I have this actionscript which is structured for my old xml ( given below)…now i have to change the structure according to the new XML (given below)…
The change in the new xml is item node is divided and structured properly for some other use…so, i am not sure how I can change it to my actionscript…

What I am trying to do?
I have to create a interactive flash swf. left side navigation, right side navigation and a ad banner are the main areas in this. Side Navigation is a movie clip created on runtime getting the label name from item name(from xml) when u click on the button, it will change the right navigation with the links (trackTxt)…when I am clicking on trackTxt, the ad banner should change…

Hope someone understands my language…and help me to do this. or Please ask me …so that i can explain better…
my actionscript:

var active_fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
active_fmt.align = “left”;
active_fmt.color = 0x15364a;

this.attachMovie(“SideNav”, “sideNav”, 100, {_x:6, _y:150, xmlPath:_level0.theXML_location});
sideNav.truncateTextOffset = 0;

function loaded(eventObject:Object) {
parsemyData(sideNav.xmlData);
//trace(“Loaded!!!”);
}
function error(eventObject:Object) {
//trace("ERROR! || "+eventObject.data);
}
sideNav.addEventListener(“loaded”, this);
sideNav.addEventListener(“error”, this);

sideNav.activeBtnHeight = 81;
sideNav.upFormat = up_fmt;
sideNav.rollOverFormat = up_fmt;
sideNav.activeFormat = active_fmt;
sideNav.activeYOffset = 20;
sideNav.tipBgColor = 0xCCCCCC;
// Put the shadow elements in front of the Side Nav
shadow.swapDepths(101);

// --------------------+
// CSS for cart_txt |
// --------------------+
var myStyle = new TextField.StyleSheet();
myStyle.setStyle(“a:hover”, {color:’#0000FF’, textDecoration:‘underline’});
cart_txt.styleSheet = myStyle;
track_txt.styleSheet = myStyle;
myStyle.onLoad = function(ok) {
if (ok) {
cart_txt.styleSheet = myStyle;
track_txt.styleSheet = myStyle;
}
};
if (_level0.cssLocation.length) {
myStyle.load(_level0.cssLocation);
}
