How can I refer to specific nodes of XML by their names rather than their “child” reference? ie:

gallery[""+i].slug.loadMovie(theGallery+myXML.firstChild.([COLOR=DarkOrange]A SPECIFICALLY NAMED NODE[/COLOR]).childNodes\*.attributes.imageName+".jpg");

in other words i want to find nodes based on what they are called \<surfPictures\>\</surfPictures\>? Anyone know what i’m ramblin on about?

Thanks!
