Hi!

I have this code that I insert every item in a XML file into an array.

```auto

		private function onXMLLoaded(event:Event):void
		{
			xmlPic = new XML(xmlLoader.data);
			
			for (var i:uint = 0;i < 5;i++)
			{
				thumbs.push(xmlPic.pic*.@url);
			}
			
			loadThumbs();			
		}

```

I know that I have 5 items(I am just testing). If I change 5 for xmlPIC.length it wont show me anything. If I leave 5 on the for loop I have the results I want.

What is wrong?
