Okay I have searched the forum for loading an simple image into flash using xml, and some have not been answered.  
I simply got a jpg image and want to load it in a movie clip called (pic)

ActionScript code:\>\>\>

```auto
function loadXML(loaded) {
	if (loaded) {
		xmlNode = this.firstChild;
		image = [];
		total = xmlNode.childNodes.length;
		for (i=0; i<total; i++) {
			image* = xmlNode.childNodes*.childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
		}
		loadImage();
	} else {
		trace("file not loaded!");
	}
}
//Load Image
function loadImage() {
	if (loaded == filesize) {
		pic._alpha = 0;
		pic.loadMovie(image[0], 1);
	}
}
//Load your xml file to be showed up 
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.load("images.xml");

```

\<\<\<

and xml code file images.xml

```auto
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
<images>
    <pic>
        <image>50.jpg</image>
    </pic>
</images>

```
