the Flash:

var j:Number = 0 ;  
var myXML:XML = new XML();  
var XML\_URL:String = “[http://localhost/pss/movie/action\_XML\_menu.xml](http://localhost/pss/movie/action_XML_menu.xml)”;  
var myXMLURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest(XML\_URL);  
var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(myXMLURL);  
myLoader.addEventListener(“complete”, xmlLoaded);

function xmlLoaded(event:Event):void {  
trace(myLoader.data);

// Place the xml data into the myXML object  
myXML = XML(myLoader.data);  
// Initialize and give var name to the new external XMLDocument  
var xmlDoc:XMLDocument = new XMLDocument();  
// Ignore spacing around nodes  
xmlDoc.ignoreWhite = true;  
// Define a new name for the loaded XML that is the data in myLoader  
var menuXML:XML = XML(myLoader.data);  
// Parse the XML data into a readable format  
xmlDoc.parseXML(menuXML.toXMLString());

// Variable to assign to list items  
var n:Number = myXML…ListItem.length();

//define a new loop for URL array

for each (var itemList:XML in myXML…itemUrl){  
var itemZrl:String = itemList.toString();

trace (itemList);  
}

}

What am i doing wrong? why is only the last url passed to the mouse events?
