2-dimensional array needed, almost there?

programming flash

Hi all,

Need help with this. Just a simple multiple choice quiz: questions and possible answers are in a xml-file, like

<?xml version=“1.0” encoding=“iso-8859-1”?>
<quiz>
<q1>
<text>How old is the oldest tree?</text>
<correct>3</correct>
<a1>50</a1>
<a2>150</a2>
<a3>250</a3>
<a4>350</a4>
</q1>
<q2>
<text>What is the formula for a cicrle?</text>
<correct>1</correct>
<a1>2pir</a1>
<a2>e=mc</a2>
<a3>x=y*(3.14/34)</a3>
<a4>3.50</a4>
</q2>
</quiz>

IN my flash movie i got the following AS:


//load the dyn data and put it arrays questions, correct answer and answers

quizContent = new XML ();
quizContent.ignoreWhite = true;
quizContent.onLoad = function (success) {
	//test if the data has been loaded succesfully
	if (success) {
		trace ("Qiuz.xml succesfully loaded.");
		processQuiz (quizContent);
		} else {
		trace ("Something went wrong");
	}
};
quizContent.load ("quiz.xml");
//what to do with all the xml data
//create an array for each questions
// Create an array to contain each question's correct answer.
// create an multiarray for a 4-part answers
processQuiz = function (quiz_xml) {
	quiz = new Object ();
	quiz.questions = new Array();
	quiz.correct = new Array();
	quiz.multiAnswers = new Array();
	//parsing the xml file
	rootXML = quiz_xml.firstChild;
	for (var n = 0; n<rootXML.childNodes.length; n++) {
		trace ("Push: "+rootXML.childNodes[n].firstChild.firstChild.nodeValue);
		quiz.questions.push(rootXML.childNodes[n].firstChild.firstChild.nodeValue);
		for (var j = 0; j<rootXML.childNodes[n].childNodes.length; j++) {
		trace (rootXML.childNodes[n].childNodes[j].firstChild.nodeValue);
		}
		quiz.correct.push(rootXML.childNodes[n].childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue)
		//now we want to store all answers for each question in an array called answers
		//store all answers
        //myArray* = new Array(4);
		quiz.answers[n] = new Array();
        for (a=2; a<6; a++) {
			//store each answer
                quiz.answers[n].push(rootXML.childNodes[n].childNodes[a].firstChild.nodeValue);
        		trace("The answer is: "+rootXML.childNodes[n].childNodes[a].firstChild.nodeValue);
		}
		quiz.multiAnswers.push(quiz.answers[n]);
		trace("huh "+quiz.answers[n]);
}

	
	trace ("First question: "+quiz.questions[0]);
	trace ("Correct answers " +quiz.correct);
	trace ("All answers " +quiz.multiAnswers);
};

Furthermore, i think i understand the dimensional array. In the end i want, based on the xml file:


quiz.multiAnswers = [[50,150,250,350],[1,2pir,e=mc,x=y*,3.50]]

So i can put the array content in dyn. textfield by adressing them like quiz.multiAnsers[0][1] gives me “150”, right?

thnks in advanced.
