if (loaded) {

xmlNode = this.firstChild;  
image = [];  
description = [];  
[COLOR=Red]url = [];[/COLOR]  
total = xmlNode.childNodes.length;  
for (i=0; i\<total; i++) {

image\* = xmlNode.childNodes\*.childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;  
description\* = xmlNode.childNodes\*.childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;  
[COLOR=Red]url\* = xmlNode.childNodes\*.childNodes[2].firstChild.nodeValue;_[/COLOR]_  
}  
firstImage();

} else {

content = “file not loaded!”;

}

}  
xmlData = new XML();  
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;  
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;  
xmlData.load(“images.xml”);
