load xml into mc symbols

I'm new to incorporating xml into my flash. I've used components that do all the linking for me, but have never tried doing the code myself. My project is a simple slide show, that has transitions on the timeline that are very important to the project. I have created an image holder movie clip symbol which is the same size as my images. I have created the slideshow using multiple instances (each with its own instance name slide01, slide02, etc) of this holder. All I want to do is load the .jpg files in from an xml file to populate the holder files before run time. I have gotten the code to work for the first image, but none of the others will populate. I am attempting to load the xml data into an array, then pull from the array to populate the mc symbols. I modified the code I found in a tutorial. Please help!
