hello, i tried this tutorial: [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/xmldataflash.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/xmldataflash.htm)  
That was about displaying text in flash through xml. But how do i do the same with [COLOR=Red]images/pictures[/COLOR]?

This is what i tried, but i couldent get the [COLOR=Red]picture[/COLOR] to work (just the text worked)  
(if you wonder, the word “**[COLOR=SeaGreen]bilde[/COLOR]**” means “**[COLOR=SeaGreen]image[/COLOR]**”)

Here is my xml tekst:

```auto
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<innhold>
    <person>
        <tittel>tittel</tittel>
        <ingress>ingress</ingress>
        [COLOR=Red] **<bilde>image.jpg</bilde>** [/COLOR]
    </person>
    <person>
        <tittel>tittel 2</tittel>
        <ingress>ingress2</ingress>
    </person>
</innhold>

```

here is my actionscript:

```auto

function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {

_root.tittel = this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
_root.ingress = this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
**[COLOR=Red]_root.bilde = this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[2].firstChild.nodeValue;[/COLOR]**
tittel_txt.text = _root.tittel;
ingress_txt.text = _root.ingress;
[COLOR=Red] **bilde1_txt.text = _root.bilde;** [/COLOR]

_root.tittel2 = this.firstChild.childNodes[1].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
_root.ingress2 = this.firstChild.childNodes[1].childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
tittel2_txt.text = _root.tittel2;
ingress2_txt.text = _root.ingress2;

} else {
  trace("dosn't load");

}

}
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;
xmlData.load("tekst.xml");

```

what do i do wrong?
