dhtmlXMenu getItem not working

Hi,

I want to change text of an item after loading an XML menu but getItem is returning undefined.
What is wrong here ? My itemID is OK.

Thanks,
Jean-Michel

Here is the code:
function createMenu(id, lang, custom){
    aMenuBar=new dhtmlXMenuBarObject(document.getElementById('menu_zone'),'100%',16,"");
    aMenuBar.setOnClickHandler(onButtonClick);
    aMenuBar.loadXML("./textes/" + lang + "/menu.xml")
    aMenuBar.enableWindowOpenMode(false);
    aMenuBar.disableSmartPositioning(true);
    var item=aMenuBar.getItem("1custom")
    item.setText(custom);
    aMenuBar.showBar();
}

loadXML is async command, which means command next to it will be executed when data not fully loaded yet
you need to catch the moment when data loaded, to made any updates to it, it may be done in next way

aMenuBar=new dhtmlXMenuBarObject(document.getElementById('menu_zone'),'100%',16,"");
    aMenuBar.setOnClickHandler(onButtonClick);
    aMenuBar.enableWindowOpenMode(false);
    aMenuBar.disableSmartPositioning(true);

    aMenuBar.loadXML("./textes/" + lang + "/menu.xml",function(){
       //code here, will be executed only after data fully loaded
        var item=aMenuBar.getItem("1custom")
        item.setText(custom);
    })
    aMenuBar.showBar();
