Xml flash

1

Hi,

i am trying to build a xml menu. my xml scheme looks like this:

<images>    
    <pic>
        <cat></cat>
        <image></image>
        <titlename></titlename>
        <description></description>
    </pic>

</images>

i am trying to use cat to sort the menu into columns. for example if cat == web _x = 300. i have not made the menu yet but i just need to know how i would go about using cat to position the menu links.

heres my code

function loadXML(loaded) {
    if (loaded) {
        xmlNode = this.firstChild;
        cat = [];
        image = [];
        titlename = [];
        description = [];
        /*bodytext  =  [];*/
        total = xmlNode.childNodes.length;
        for (i=0; i<total; i++) {
           
            cat* = xmlNode.childNodes*.childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
            image* = xmlNode.childNodes*.childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
            titlename* = xmlNode.childNodes*.childNodes[2].firstChild.nodeValue;
            description* = xmlNode.childNodes*.childNodes[3].firstChild.nodeValue;
    
            //trace (titlename*)
            trace (cat*)
           
           
        }
        firstImage();
    } else {
        content = "file not loaded!";
    }
}

many thanks,
G
