I have done this before and I lost my files. Im trying again I want to only load a simple image using xml in flash.

Its basic I made a movie clip and called it “picture” and then I created a layer and called it actions and in the actions layer I added the code I made and learned from Kirupas tutorial. But the image do not show up.

Im using 2 images witch are a .jpg format

```auto
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' standalone='yes'?>

<images>
	<img>cent.jpg</img>
	<img>cent2.jpg</img>
</images>

```

////

```auto
function loadXML(loaded) {
	if (loaded) {
		xmlNode = this.firstChild;
		image = [];
		total = xmlNode.childNodes.length;
		for (i=0; i<total; i++) {
			image* = xmlNode.childNodes*;
		}
		loadImage();
	} else {
		content = "file not loaded!";
	}
}
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;
xmlData.load("myData.xml");
////////////////////////////////////////////////
function loadImage() {
	picture.loadMovie(image[1], 1);
}

```

Im just mad I cannot get this simple thing going.
