Can anyone help me please…I’m new to xml and flash integration… so please bear with me!

I’m calling in images from xml like so…

```auto
image* = xmlNode.childNodes*.childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;

```

The image paths are appearing in the output window via a trace. So that bit works.

I cant get them to load into the movieclips generated to hold them.

```auto
while (Number(n)<_root.no_ofpics) {
    n = Number(n)+1;
    bn = "button" add n;
    duplicateMovieClip("button", bn, n);
    
setProperty(bn, _x, Number(getProperty(bn, _x))+Number(n*(getProperty(bn, _width)-12)));
                //for (var i = picsroot.firstChild; i != null; i=i.nextSibling) { 
                    bn = attachMovie (bn add ".n", "bn" + count, depth ++, {} );
somehow...load images!?!

```

How should i be expressing the load in this case?

bn[n].loadMovie.image\*;  
or  
“bn” + count.loadMovie(image\*);  
or even  
loadMovie(“images/image”+n+".jpg", bn add “.blank” );  
or similar?!?  
this is bending my brain!
