I’ve got this code:

```auto
    function loadtheContent(menu_xml) {
        var items = menu_xml.firstChild.childNodes;
        trace(items);
        trace("image: "+items[0].childNodes[2].childNodes[1].attributes.url);
        trace("name: "+items[0].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue);
        makeText("content_header", "Basic-11-Bold", 16, menu_xml.firstChild.attributes.title, 50, 65, 500, 500, 1, 0xffffff, 1, 1);
        prevX = 50;
        for (var i = 0; i<items.length; i++) {
            trace("i: "+i);
            trace("image: "+items*.childNodes[2].childNodes[0].attributes.url);
            trace("name: "+items*.childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue);
            item_mc = attachMovie("team_item", "team_item"+i, this.getNextHighestDepth(), {_x:prevX, _y:160});
            item_mc.img.loadMovie("team_pics/"+items*.childNodes[2].childNodes[0].attributes.url);
            item_mc.img._x = 10;
            item_mc.img._y = -54;
            item_mc.makeText("item_team_name"+i, "Basic-11-Bold", 10, items*.childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue, 8, 23, 81, 500, 1, 0xffffff, 1, 1);
            item_mc.makeText("item_team_pos"+i, "Basic-11", 10, items*.childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue, 8, 36, 81, 500, 0, 0xffffff, 1, 1);
            item_mc.bg.easeTo("_alpha", 25);
            fadein(item_mc);
            prevX = prevX+100;
        }
    }

```

and this xml:

```auto

```

Just as a test obviously. It al seems to work fine, apart from only the last member in the xml is actually displayed. This is my trace:

```auto
i: 0
image: James_mask_cropped.jpg
name: James Easley
makeText: item_team_name0
fadein called for_level0.team_item0.item_team_name0
makeText: item_team_pos0
fadein called for_level0.team_item0.item_team_pos0
fadein called for_level0.team_item0
i: 1
image: mattpic1_cropped.jpg
name: Matthew Down
makeText: item_team_name1
fadein called for_level0.team_item1.item_team_name1
makeText: item_team_pos1
fadein called for_level0.team_item1.item_team_pos1
fadein called for_level0.team_item1
i: 2
image: James_mask_cropped.jpg
name: James Easley
makeText: item_team_name2
fadein called for_level0.team_item2.item_team_name2
makeText: item_team_pos2
fadein called for_level0.team_item2.item_team_pos2
fadein called for_level0.team_item2

```

Which should mean they’ve been created? I’m obviously missing something easy but I’ve been looking at it too long now…

Any help much appreciated. Cheers.
