Hi!

I finally got the code loading an external XML file after lots of tries but I can t read the desc attribute.Can You help me with this doubt?

Here is my code:

```auto

function onLoaded(event:Event):void
{
    xml = new XML(event.target.data);
    var lista :XMLList = xml.photo.attribute("url");
    
    for each (var fotos:XML in lista){
            photos.push(fotos);
    }
    
    photos.reverse();    
    numImgs = photos.length;

    imgLoader.load(new URLRequest(photos[imgPos]));
    imgLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.OPEN,onOpen);
    imgLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS,onProgress);
    imgLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,onComplete);
    holder.addChild(imgLoader);
}

```
