Dynamic text wont show up in movie - as2

Question

basically i have dynamic text fields that i have been trying to parse to an xml file. when i test the movie it does not work, all the fields are blank. but the info DOES show up in the output tab, so i know that it is making the connection.... it just doesnt show up in the movie. weird.
here is my actionscript:
var xml:XML=new XML();
xml.ignoreWhite=true;
xml.onLoad=parseXML;
xml.load("popup.xml");
function parseXML(){
trace(this);
    if (success)
        var diagramNode=this.firstChild;
        var infoNode=diagramNode.childNodes[0];
        var nameNode=infoNode.childNodes[1];
        var ssnumberNode=infoNode.childNodes[2];
        var descriptionNode=infoNode.childNodes[3];
        var stockNode=infoNode.childNodes[4];
        var priceNode=infoNode.childNodes[5];
        var typeNode=infoNode.childNodes[6];
        var qtyNode=infoNode.childNodes[7];
    else {
        content="oops, this stuff is confusing";
and here is my xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<diagram>
    <config>
    </config>
    <info>   
        <name>
            Pedal Set With Toe Cage and Straps
        </name>
        <ssnumber>
            P01LEM14139
        </ssnumber>
        <description>
            Pedal set comes complete with both left and right pedals, toe cages and straps. Pedals have 9/16” shaft diameter where pedal threads into the crank arm.
        </description>
        <stock>
            Item is in stock
        </stock>
        <price>
            $15.95
        </price>
        <type>
            EA
        </type>
        <qty>
            1
        </qty>
    </items>   
</diagram>

Answer 1

ok, i must have been doing it wrong. i ended up following a different tutorial and i rewrote it this way and it works great now!
function processXMLData(success)
    if (success)
        var rootNode=this.firstChild;
        var nameNode=findNode(rootNode, "name");
        name=getValue(nameNode);
        var ssnumberNode=findNode(rootNode, "ssnumber");
        ssnumber=getValue(ssnumberNode);
        var descriptionNode=findNode(rootNode, "description");
        description=getValue(descriptionNode);
        var stockNode=findNode(rootNode, "stock");
        stock=getValue(stockNode);
        var priceNode=findNode(rootNode, "price");
        price=getValue(priceNode);
        var typeNode=findNode(rootNode, "type");
        type=getValue(typeNode);
        var qtyNode=findNode(rootNode, "qty");
        qty=getValue(qtyNode);
    else
        content="oops, this is hard";
function getValue(node)
  if (node && node.firstChild)
      return node.firstChild.nodeValue;
  return "";
function findNode(node, nodeName)
    if (node.nodeName==nodeName)
        return node;
    for (var i=0; node.childNodes && i<node.childNodes.length; i++)
        var foundNode=findNode(node.childNodes[i], nodeName);
        if (foundNode!=null)
            return foundNode;
    return null;
var xmlData=new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite=true;
xmlData.onLoad=processXMLData;
xmlData.load("popup.xml");
stop();
