Ok I have an empty movieclip called picture, i am trying to load an image by using XML

I traced xmlData.Book[0].author and it DOES return “grace.png” which is the name of the image! So what is wrong with the below text?? Thanks! 🙂

var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();  
var xmlData:XML = new XML();  
var imageLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

var image = xmlData;  
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, LoadXML);  
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest(“sampleXML.xml”));

function LoadXML(e:Event):void {  
xmlData = new XML(e.target.data);  
image = xmlData.Book[0].author  
picture.loadMovie(image);  
}
