Xml in movie clips within movie clips

hi, i’m learning flash + xml, picking up bits and pieces from everywhere, just have a minor problem:

i have a 6 movie clips on the main timeline named ‘item_0_mc’, ‘item_1_mc’, etc, each of which contains dynamic text fields and movieclips which I am loading (the respective) content into…which is working fine…

Once i create ‘item_0_mc’, ‘item_1_mc’…‘item_6_mc’ into another movie clip (named ‘content_pg1_mc’), the content doesnt load…I’m not sure what the referring code would be now…

so, without making the [color=Black]item_0_mc[/color] into another movie clip, the code refering the info would be:

[color=DimGray]item_mc.starsign_txt.text = tshirt.attributes.starsign;[/color]

what is it do i have to add to reach the content?

file is attached…

this_mc = this;
function display() {
[color=DimGray]//trace(xmlData.firstChild.childNodes[0]);[/color]
for (var e = 0; e<6; e++) {
item_mc = this_mc[“item_”+e+"_mc"];
tshirt = xmlData.firstChild.childNodes[e];
item_mc.picture_mc.loadMovie(tshirt.attributes.image);
item_mc.title_txt.text = tshirt.attributes.title;
item_mc.starsign_txt.text = tshirt.attributes.starsign;
item_mc.hobbies_txt.text = tshirt.attributes.hobbies;
item_mc.loves_txt.text = tshirt.attributes.loves;
}
}

cheers,
Jo
