SetInterval and XML Load Problem

Question

Hello,
I 'm having the simple problem of making sure the XML is
loaded before beginning the Interval sequence. Therefore it is
missing some of the XML data when loading. See example:
http://alt.coxnewsweb.com/statesman/img/advertising/_jacob/Site1/products.html
I tried a success boolean with the XML onLoad Handler, but my
setInterval stopped working. I could easily just not know how to
properly implement XML onLoad.
Can someone help me out with properly loading the XML
document before the setInterval is initiated.
Thank You - Jacob
Here is the Working Code of the example given...
//New XML Object
var mydata:XML = new XML();
//ignores formatting of XML files tabs, returns, ect.
mydata.ignoreWhite = true;
//Setup onLoad Function
mydata.onLoad = loadXML;
//Loads actual XML Data File
mydata.load("data.xml");
//setInerval Vars
var intervalId:Number;
var count:Number = 1;
var maxCount:Number = 20;
var duration:Number = 100;
//Thumbnail Position Vars
var originalx:Number = 20;
var originaly:Number = 55;
currentx = originalx;
currenty = originaly;
var i:Number = 0;
//Create Thumbnails Interval
function thumbInterval():Void {
//trace(i);
//Controls # of Thumbnails per line
if ((i % 5 == 0) && (i > 0)) {
currenty += 125;
currentx=originalx;
//Attatch Library MC
_root.attachMovie("thumbnailMC", "thumbnailMC" + i, 1000 +
i);
//Load Image, text, and position
_root["thumbnailMC" + i].thumbnailname =
mydata.firstChild.childNodes
.childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
_root["thumbnailMC" + i].textbox.productdescr =
mydata.firstChild.childNodes.childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
_root["thumbnailMC" + i]._x = currentx;
_root["thumbnailMC" + i]._y = currenty;
currentx += 130;
i++
if(count >= maxCount) {
clearInterval(intervalId);
count++;
intervalId = setInterval(this, "thumbInterval",
duration);

Please use the attach code option to post your code. bracket
i bracket is seen as italic by this forum.
And where is the loadXML function?
The xml is loaded when the onLoad event gets fired. Your
loadXML() is the place where you want to call a function that
initiates the interval.
