Setting attributes with XML

programming flash
1

Hello all, looking at setting a context menu with an external config.xml file, however I would also like to set the true and false attributes with this.

at the moment I have a simple node with;

<item_1>
		
			<text><![CDATA[home]]></text>
			<line>true</line>
			<status>false</status>
			
		</item_1>

and then I have my .as file with the connection to the doc and;

_menuLinkOne = new ContextMenuItem(_menuItem.item_1.text , _menuItem.item_1.line ,  _menuItem.item_1.status);
			//_menuLinkOne.addEventListener(ContextMenuEvent.MENU_ITEM_SELECT, CMHome, false, 0, true);
			myContextMenu.customItems.push(_menuLinkOne);

but for some reason the true and false attributes do not seem to be set, can anyone shed any light on this??

Thank you!!
