How to better parse this .xml file?

programming flash

At the moment i am using assoc array and a regular array, which isn’t the best way.

Here’s my .xml file


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<menu name="mainmenu">
	<submenu name="submenu A" gotoURL="/a">
		<item name="A 1" gotoURL="/a1"/>
		<item name="A 2" gotoURL="/a2"/>
		<item name="A 3" gotoURL="/a3"/>
	</submenu>
	<submenu name="submenu B" gotoURL="/b">
		<item name="B 1" gotoURL="/b1"/>
		<item name="B 2" gotoURL="/b2"/>
	</submenu>
	<item name="D" gotoURL="/d"/>
	<item name="E" gotoURL="/e"/>
	<submenu name="submenu F" gotoURL="/f">
		<item name="F 1" gotoURL="/f1"/>
		<item name="F 2" gotoURL="/f2"/>
		<item name="F 3" gotoURL="/f3"/>
	</submenu>
	<item name="G" gotoURL="/g"/>
</menu>

and my as


function loadMenu(succes) {
	if (succes) {
		var xmlNode = this.firstChild.childNodes;
		for (var i = 0; i<xmlNode.length; i++) {
			var websiteItems = xmlNode*;
			//to do if is the submenu node
			if (websiteItems.nodeName == 'submenu') {
				var tempSubmenuNav:Array = new Array();
				tempSubmenuNav.gotoURL = websiteItems.attributes.gotoURL;
				tempSubmenuNav.name = websiteItems.attributes.name;
				menuArray.push(tempSubmenuNav);
				for (var j:Number = 0; j<websiteItems.childNodes.length; j++) {
					//we need to create a submenu
					var tempSubmenu:Array = new Array();
					tempSubmenu.name = websiteItems.childNodes[j].attributes.name;
					tempSubmenu.gotoURL = websiteItems.childNodes[j].attributes.gotoURL;
					tempSubmenu.submenuName = websiteItems.nodeName;
					// "test";
					tempSubmenu.submenuID = i;
					menuArray*.push(tempSubmenu);
				}
			}
			if (websiteItems.nodeName == 'item') {
				var tempMenu:Array = new Array();
				tempMenu.gotoURL = websiteItems.attributes.gotoURL;
				tempMenu.name = websiteItems.attributes.name;
				menuArray.push(tempMenu);
			}
		}
		createMainMenu(5, 30, this.getNextHighestDepth(), menuArray);
		showSubmenu();
	} else {
		content = "file not loaded!";
	}
}
