[/COLOR][/SIZE]

```auto
 
<media:content url="someURL" type="image/jpeg" height="87" width="130" />
<media:text type="html">
<p>
<a href="someLINK">
<img src="someSRC" align="left" height="87" width="130" alt="photo" **title="DESCRIPTION OF THE IMAGE"** border="0"/>
</a>
</p>
<br clear="all"/>
</media:text>

```

**is there anyway i can get the value of the image title (title=“DESCRIPTION OF THE IMAGE”) into flash.** this is how im getting the image from media:content node:  
[COLOR=dimgray]thetitle = XPathAPI.selectNodeList(this.firstChild, “/rss/channel/item/media:content”);[/COLOR]  
[COLOR=dimgray]thetitle\_url = thetitle[RanNum].attributes[“url”];[/COLOR]

similarly, i can get into the media:text node using:  
[COLOR=dimgray]thedesc = XPathAPI.selectNodeList(this.firstChild, “/rss/channel/item/media:text”);[/COLOR]

but is there anyway i can read the value of the image title in flash ?? please help.
