If you make sure the children of your parent MovieClip you want to access all have instance names which are sequentially numbered, you can do something like this:
dots.onLoad = function(success:Boolean){
if(success){
// attach the MovieClip first and then we can use the reference
// to access the child clips when we loop over the XML
var all:MovieClip = attachMovie("test","all",depth);
var xmlNode = this.firstChild;
var url;
for(i=0;i<6;i++){
url = xmlNode.childNodes[i].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
// Assumes children have instance names childClip_0 - childClip_5
trace(all['childClip_' + i]);
}
}else{
trace("Could not load XML");
}
};
