First I’m trying to get this XML file to load, but it’s coming up undefined. Here’s the actionscript:

var MyX:XML=new XML();  
MyX.ignoreWhite=true;

var urls:Array=new Array();  
var captions:Array=new Array();

MyX.onLoad=function(){  
var photos:Array=this.firstChild.childNodes;

```
 for(i=0;i&lt;photos.length;i++){
     urls.push(photos*.attributes.url);
 captions.push(photos*.attributes.caption);

```

}  
}

holder.loadMovie(urls[0]);  
caption.text =captions[0];

MyX.load(“funky.xml”);

Now, here’s the XML file:

\<?xml version=“1.0” encoding=“iso-8859-1”?\>

\<slideshow\>  
\<photo url=“m51.jpg” caption=“M5 power, untouchable” /\>  
\</slideshow\>

I have a movieclip and text field on the stage with the instance names “holder” and “caption” respectively.

I’m using Flash 8, ActionScript 2.0
