Xml Photo Gallery Tutorial :no even #images

I am new to action script and have been reviewing the tutorial and downloaded the fla. I cant seem to get even# images to show up though? Is there some simple thing that I am missing? Thanks-Josh

code is un modified from the tutorial

function loadXML(loaded) {
	if (loaded) {
		xmlNode = this.firstChild;
		image = [];
		description = [];
		total = xmlNode.childNodes.length;
		for (i=0; i<total; i++) {
			image* = xmlNode.childNodes*.childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
			description* = xmlNode.childNodes*.childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
		}
		firstImage();
	} else {
		content = "file not loaded!";
	}
}
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;
xmlData.load("images.xml");

listen.onKeyDown = function() {
	if (Key.getCode() == Key.LEFT) {

	} else if (Key.getCode() == Key.RIGHT) {

	}
};
Key.addListener(listen);
previous_btn.onRelease = function() {

};
next_btn.onRelease = function() {

this.onEnterFrame = function() {
	filesize = picture.getBytesTotal();
	loaded = picture.getBytesLoaded();
	preloader._visible = true;
	if (loaded != filesize) {
		preloader.preload_bar._xscale = 100*loaded/filesize;
	} else {
		preloader._visible = false;
		if (picture._alpha<100) {
			picture._alpha += 10;
		}
	}
};
function nextImage() {
	if (p<(total-1)) {
		p++;
		if (loaded == filesize) {

			picture.loadMovie(image[p], 1);

			picture_num();

	}
}
