Make Action Script connect to XML link

Question

Hi,
Please if somebody can help me with this issue.
I have Flash Movie (with multiple movie symbols) file that parses XML file(gallery.load("gallery.xml") with this
           <image>
            <date>03.31.06</date>
            <title>View of Seattle</title>
            <desc>View of Seattle</desc>
            <thumb>seattle5.jpg</thumb>
            <img>seattle5.jpg</img>
        </image>
        <image>
            <date>03.31.06</date>
            <title>View of New York</title>
            <desc>View of New York</desc>
            <thumb>New York.jpg</thumb>
            <img link="http://www.newyork.com">New York</img>
        </image>
Action Script places first image in Flash File new movie symbol (new window).
          this.onRelease = function()
          showFullImage(this.imgToLoad, this.imgDesc);
My problem is:
           i need to connect to image or to http
           depending on the tag in xml.
           In first example <thumb>Seattle5.jpg</thumb> button click will send image to Flash movie new window while
           <thumb>New York.jpg</thumb> click will open http://www.newyork.com
          this.onRelease = function()
          showFullImage(this.imgToLoad, this.imgDesc);
          i need to diferentiate here to let the ActionScript know that there is link present in XML
         getUrl(Link, "_blank");
How can i make this split in Actionscript.
Thank you

when you parse the img node check if it contains ".jpg".  if yes, it's an image to load.  if no, use its link attribute to obtain the url.
