For loop makes me loopie

gallery_xml.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
var total =(this.firstChild.childNodes.length)+1;
var gallery = this.firstChild;
for (var i = 0; i<gallery.childNodes.length; i++) {
pArray.push(gallery.childNodes*.attributes.source);

}

for (var i=0; i&lt;total; i++) {

nav.but*.description_text.text = this.firstChild.childNodes*.attributes.title;
trace();
nav.but
.onPress = function(){
fadeOut(*);
}
}
