i am trying like that..............in that i want 2 use servername and projectname in navigation bar but sometimes it is working somtimes it is not working......
i think due to loading of xml.can u give me some idea so that i can use that variable after loading of xml.
var linkData:XML = new XML();
var linkXData:XMLNode;
var serverName:XMLNode;
var projectName:XMLNode;
var a;
var b;
linkData.ignoreWhite = true;
linkData.load("server.xml");
linkData.onLoad = function(success:Boolean)
if(success)
  trace("Link data loaded");
  serverName = linkData.firstChild.childNodes[0].firstChild;
  projectName = linkData.firstChild.childNodes[1].firstChild;
  linkXData = linkData.firstChild;
  trace("in success"+linkXData.childNodes.length)
else
  trace("Failed to load link data");
id=setInterval(testvalue,1000);
function testvalue():Void{
a=serverName;
b=projectName;
     trace("ServerName outside="+serverName)
     trace("projectName outside ="+projectName )
setserver(serverName);
clearInterval(id);
  var val;
function setserver(val){
trace("val="+val)
init1(val);
in init1() function...................................
function init1(val){
trace("val in init1="+val)
trace("///////////////////////init1//////////////////////")
trace("ServerName in init1="+serverName)
trace("projectName in init1 ="+projectName )
/*var localhost="hyddtl900411";
var projectName="CCBCPC";*/
var localhost=val;
var projectName="CCBCPC";
trace("localhost="+localhost)
var links:Array = new Array();
trace("link="+links[0])
links[0] = "http://"+localhost+":8080/"+projectName+"/web/productOverview.html";
links[1] = "http://"+localhost+":8080/"+projectName+"/web/Training.html";
links[2] = "http://"+localhost+":8080/"+projectName+"/web/a.html";
links[3] = "http://"+localhost+":8080/"+projectName+"/web/Case_studies.html";
links[4] = "http://"+localhost+":8080/"+projectName+"/web/Team.html";
links[5] = "http://"+localhost+":8080/"+projectName+"/web/offering.html";
for(var i:Number = 0; i < links.length; i++)
this["btn_" + i].pageRef = links[i];
this["btn_" + i].onPress = function()
  getURL(this.pageRef);
//highlight current button
if(_root.activeBtn != undefined)
this["btn_" + _root.activeBtn].enabled = false;
this["btn_" + _root.activeBtn].useHandCursor = false;
this["btn_" + _root.activeBtn].gotoAndStop(4);
