Gettin Funky With Functions

Hey Gents, what is correct way to return data from multiple arrays out of a parse function and into an object so I can get to it globally? I tried a return objData at the end of the parse but only gives me the last one…


function loadXML(e:Event):void
{
    var xmlPure:XML = new XML(e.target.data);
    xmlData = parseXML(xmlPure);
    initialize(xmlData);
}

function parseXML(objData:XML)
{

    var i:Number;
    var showTitle:Array = new Array();
    var showDesc:Array = new Array();    
    var showThumbSmall:Array = new Array();
    var showThumbLarge:Array = new Array();

    for (i=0; i < 5; i++)
    {

        showData*.showTitle = objData.channel.item*.title.text();
        showDesc* = objData.channel.item*.description.text();        
        showDate* = objData.channel.item*.date.text();        

     }


function initialize(xmlData){

   Do stuff here... but need to make the data global. 

}
