Loading Single Image Via XML

Question

Hey guys, I am trying to load a single image on to the stage via an xml file.
Here is my xml file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <pictures>
        <pic>image1.jpg</pic>
    </pictures>
I'm trying to figure out the actionscript 3 code but I don't know how to code it.
If someone can please point me to the code or tutorial, it would be much appreciated.

You would load the xml by doing this:
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("xmlfilename.xml");
var ldr:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
ldr.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,xmlLoaded);
ldr.load(req);
function xmlLoaded(e:Event){
  var xml:XML = XML(e.target.data);
//see * below..
* then the code to load the image could go in the xmlLoaded function (in place of that //see below line), and would look like this:
var imgreq:URLRequest = new URLRequest(xml.pictures.pic[0]);
var imgldr:Loader = new Loader();
imgldr.load(imgreq);
addChild(imgldr);
Normally you might add a listener to the Loader's contentLoaderInfo, so that you could then size or position the image before adding it to the stage. But hopefully the above code would get you as far as having the image in the top left of the stage.
