Recursive Function, XML tree

1

ok guys, im having a problem reading a xml tree in Flash MX…

i got this tree,

data.xml


<menu>
	<menuitem label="menu1">
		<item label="menu1_item1" file="file.swf" />
		<item label="menu1_item2" file="file.swf" />
		<menuitem label="sub1">
			<item label="menu1_sub1_item1" file="file.swf" />
			<item label="menu1_sub1_item2" file="file.swf" />
			<item label="menu1_sub1_item3" file="file.swf" />
			<item label="menu1_sub1_item4" file="file.swf" />
		</menuitem>
	</menuitem>
	<menuitem label="menu2">
		<item label="menu2_item1" file="file.swf" />
		<item label="menu2_item2" file="file.swf" />
		<menuitem label="sub1">
			<item label="menu2_sub1_item1" file="file.swf" />
			<item label="menu2_sub1_item2" file="file.swf" />
			<item label="menu2_sub1_item3" file="file.swf" />
			<item label="menu2_sub1_item4" file="file.swf" />
		</menuitem>
	</menuitem>
	<menuitem label="menu3">
		<item label="menu3_item1" file="file.swf" />
		<item label="menu3_item2" file="file.swf" />
		<menuitem label="sub1">
			<item label="menu3_sub1_item1" file="file.swf" />
			<item label="menu3_sub1_item2" file="file.swf" />
			<item label="menu3_sub1_item3" file="file.swf" />
			<item label="menu3_sub1_item4" file="file.swf" />
		</menuitem>
	</menuitem>
</menu>

and this Actionscript to just to view the tree…


function addChilds(childs) {
	for (i=0; i<childs.length; i++) {
		if (childs*.hasChildNodes()) {
			addChilds(childs*.childNodes);
		} else {
			trace(childs*.attributes.label);
		}
	}
}
myXML = new XML();
myXML.ignoreWhite = true;
myXML.load("data.xml");
myXML.onLoad = function() {
	addChilds(this.firstChild.childNodes);
};

now comes the problem, when running it, i only get this:

menu1_item1
menu1_item2
menu1_sub1_item1
menu1_sub1_item2
menu1_sub1_item3
menu1_sub1_item4

meaning that when it calls itself again, that it will stop searching the next items on the same level from where it was called…

how do i not let it stop searching and complete the tree… please help…

(i hope it maked any sence)
