I’m trying to create a menu through XML and i’m using 2 attributes in dat XML one is buttons name and another is link.  
This link is not a URL this is a name of another swf which i wanna load.

stop();  
xmlData = new XML();  
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;  
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;  
var btn\_arr = new Array();  
var link\_arr = new Array();  
function loadXML(loaded) {  
if (loaded) {  
xmlNode = this.firstChild;  
total = xmlNode.childNodes.length;  
xml\_arr = xmlNode.childNodes;  
for (i=0; i\<total; i++) {  
btn\_arr.push(xml\_arr\*.attributes.heading);  
link\_arr.push(xml\_arr\*.attributes.pageToLoad);  
trace(’"’+link\_arr\*+’"’);  
}  
}  
makeButtons();  
}  
function makeButtons() {  
for (var i = 0; i\<xml\_arr.length; i++) {  
button0\_mc.\_visible = false;  
var btn = button0\_mc.duplicateMovieClip(“btn”+i+"\_mc", 1000+i);  
btn.\_y = this[“btn”+(i-1)+"\_mc"].\_y+this[“btn”+(i-1)+"\_mc"].\_height+5;  
btn.\_x = 1.1;  
btn.button\_txt.text = btn\_arr\*;  
btn.onRollOver = function() {  
trace(bt.\_name) //always come to btn4\_mc  
this.effectIn(“in”);  
};  
btn.onRollOut = function() {  
this.effectIn(“out”);  
};  
btn.onRelease = function() {  
loadMovieNum(’"’+link\_arr\*+’"’, i+10); //showing error loading URL  
};  
}  
}  
xmlData.load(“xml/menu.xml”);
