Ok i need to have a loop run and load the value (attributes) of each ChildNode.

```auto

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<links>
    <link name="one" ref="one.cfm"/>
    <link name="two" ref="two.cfm"/>
    <link name="three" ref="three.cfm"/>
    <link name="four" ref="four.cfm"/>
</links>

```

My current code will gereate the result of:  
_oneoneoneone_  
but i need  
_onetwothreefour_

```auto

for (k=0; k<numTabs; k++) {
        var allText = rootNode.firstChild.attributes.name;
        trace(allText);
        }

```

What can I do?
