Hey there…im having trouble with this xml file.  
what im trying to do is load a thumbnail,then its respective swf file through xml.

The structure has to stay the same because of update i will be making to it, so if anyone can point out what i have to do to display the respective .swf can you please post.

Cheers

XML

```auto

<featured>
		  <one thumb="1.jpg">one.swf</one>
</featured>

```

Heres the AS

```auto

// Load XML
function loadXML(loaded){
		_root.featured =
		this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].firstChild;
		
		_root.one =
		this.firstChild.childNodes[0].attributes;
		
		trace(_root.one.thumb) // Displays Attribute
		
};
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;
xmlData.load("this.xml");

```
