Flash, XML, and ActionScript

[diabolo]

var xmlDoc:XML = new XML(); 
System.useCodepage = true; 
xmlDoc.ignoreWhite = true; 

xmlDoc.onLoad = function(ok:Boolean) { 
   if (ok) { 
       doMenu(this);        
   } else { 
       trace("XML did not load"); 
   } 
}; 

xmlDoc.load("myImages.xml"); 

function doMenu(xml:XML) { 
   var num:Number = xml.firstChild.childNodes.length;    
   pics = new Array();    
   for (var i = 0; i < num; i++) { 
       pics[i] = xml.firstChild.childNodes[i].attributes.image;        
   } 
   trace(pics);    
}

-the actionscript

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" standalone="yes"?> 

<MENU> 
   <ITEM image="image1.jpg" /> 
   <ITEM image="image2.jpg" /> 
   <ITEM image="image3.jpg" /> 
   <ITEM image="image4.jpg" /> 
</MENU>

-the xml


can someone explain to me what the actionscript means?

I'm not entirely sure, but it looks like when you activate certain portions of the code (the user side, not the server side) It will refer to the menu and pick out an appropriate image.

Note: I'm only answering this because its been a day and no one else has.
