Finding a specific result[] on click

1

I am trying to handle my results from a amfphp remoting call… this is probably really easy problem, but one of my last problems to work on.

when I click on a product or image, I want to take all the details of that result[] and display elsewhere or set as a current product… this is kind of what I have…

 
public function handlesearchresults(results) {
var rslength = results.length; 
for (var x= 0;x<rslength; x++) {
     //create productholder for each product
     var productholder:productholder_mc = new productholder_mc();
    //set thumbnail position for this product
     productholder.y = 20+(270*int(x/2));
     productholder.x = (270*(x%2))+50;
     productholder.productinformation_mc.prodtitle_txt.text = results[x].Title;
     productholder.productinformation_mc.proddesc_txt.text = results[x].Description;
     productholder.productinformation_mc.prodprice_txt.text = "$ "+results[x].Price;
     productholder.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonclickfunction);
     function buttonclickfunction(event:MouseEvent):void {
 
        //this is where I'm not sure what to put to track for each click
 
     }
}

I have tried things like this, thinking I could point the information I click on to the correct stage location… but I think the [x] is always changing:

stage.getChildAt(0).productdetailsmain_mc.productdetails_mc.producttitle_txt.text = event.target.results[x].Title;

is there something easy to go in there that I’m missing that will allow this. equivilant in AS2.0 was as easy as productholder.thisone = x; then I could use the recordSet class to pull it with getItemAt(this.x) on an onRelease;… I know, I know, it’s not there now…

thanks

ok, I did get a little further on this… stupid me. 1st thing I noticed was I needed result to be seen in the buttonclickfunction, so I made a var outside and assigned it the results…

private var searchresults:Array = new Array(); //located in my class, not in my function

so now in my buttonclickfunction I can do this…

searchresults[1].Title;

so my last problem now is to be able to track which loop variable “x” I am on and pass it along?

I need to be able to do this…

searchresults[x].Title; //or something similar to it?

fixed my own problem… found out that the movieclip class is dynamic… therefor you can create variables off of a movie clip just like the old days :slight_smile:

productholder.num = x; 
//this does work if productholder was a movie clip...  cool

and then in my buttonclickfunction I can simply use…

searchresults[event.currentTarget.num].Title;
