Button for loading XML data

1

Hi

I want to start by saying that my AS-skills are pretty limited, because I am new to the subject, so please bear with me :slight_smile:

After having seen through this tutorial

http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flashcs3/using_xml_as3_pg6.htm I got help from a nice person to get a code, that would load my XML data into my SWF, after pressing a button. He even made an explanation for me through the code:


// this objects loads the xml file
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

// this will be your xml data once loaded, now its empty
var xmlData:XML;
 
// my_button is the instance name of the button on the stage
my_button.addEventListener( MouseEvent.CLICK, onClickFunction );

// hey, someone pressed the button, lets do something
function onClickFunction( a_event:MouseEvent ):void
{
    // we want to know when its loaded, so we can do stuff with it
    xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onXMLLoaded);
   
    // we want to load the xml
    xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("tracks.xml"));    
}

// the xml is loaded so lets do what this function says
function onXMLLoaded( a_event:Event ):void
{    
    // you remember? the xml data object created before? now it gets content
    xmlData = new XML( xmlLoader.data );
    trace("horray, the xml is here" );
    trace(  xmlData );
}

And and Content of my XML data is following so far:

I would like to make a button in Flash that reads the XML file, and when pressed, it shows the track Title, corresponding to the Genre or the Mood, specified in the XML file.

For instance: The buttons name is Aggressive and when I press it, all the tracks that have “Aggressive” as the Mood (in the XML file), will be called forth.

How do I do that?
