Problems with XML

Hi! First of all, nice to meet you guys, im glad i found a cool forum like this and i wish i can help u someday

Well i started making flash websites this week, so u can figure im a total newbie. since my work depends on it, i have read lots of tutorials, watch videos, books, these have been a hell of 3 days! hehe

I decided to started with a XML-Flash website, so i downloaded a template, that came with a lot of minor problems, i fixed almost all of then, but now i got stucked in a actionscript problem. i really hope u guys have patience to help me, i will try to put all the information necessary.
Well, i will try to be as simple as possible :
First none of the pics of the site works, i know the basics of GetCurrentImage, and the output error i get is :

Error opening URL 'file:///C|/flash/26561undefined

i know this means something is wrong with the action script that tells where to get the image on the XML. well i need u guys to trust me! the XML file is not the problem, because it came with the published swf file, and works perfect, the problem is on the FLA.
on debug, i get:
_level0.instance16.instance26.instance28.cont.cont1
on url: File:///C|/flash/2656undefined

this is the Actionscript im using starting from the first image :

onClipEvent (load)
{
imageProperties = _root.getCurrentImageName(0);
loadMovie(_root.url + imageProperties.name, this.cont.pic);
url = imageProperties.linkToOpen;
targetWindow = imageProperties.target;
}
changing the 0 for each image

what can i be doing wrong? what information is missing so u guys can give me a hand?
thanks for the patience and any help
