Get slider values... why doesnt it work?

1

I have just created this code to dynamically create a list of sliders.


//import slider classes
import fl.controls.Slider;
import fl.events.SliderEvent;
import fl.controls.Button;

import flash.events.*;
import flash.net.*;
import flash.net.navigateToURL;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.net.URLVariables;

var imageText:TextField;
var slider:Slider;
var xml:XML;
var xmlList:XMLList;
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("xml/myXMLdata.xml"));

xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, xmlLoaded);

function xmlLoaded(event:Event):void
{
    // converts data into xml data which flash can understand
    xml = XML(event.target.data);
    // places xml data into a list/array
    xmlList = xml.children();
    
    for (var i:int=0;i<xmlList.length(); i++)
    {
        
        slider = new Slider();
        
        slider.x = 25
        slider.y = i * 50 + 25;
        // control if slider updates instantly or after mouse is released
        slider.liveDragging = false;
        //set size of slider
        slider.setSize(200,0);
        //set maximum value
        slider.maximum = 100;
        //set mininum value
        slider.minimum = 0;
        //Gets or sets the initial value of the Slider.
        slider.value = xmlList*.attribute("initial");
        //set tick position interval, you do not have to set this
        slider.tickInterval = xmlList*.attribute("tick");
        // sets the increment by which the value is increased or decreased.
        slider.snapInterval = xmlList*.attribute("snap");
        // this is a listener that broadcasts evertime an event changes
        slider.addEventListener(SliderEvent.CHANGE, announceChange);
        // add slider to stage
        container.addChild(slider);
        slider.name="slider"+i;
        trace(slider.name);
      
    }
}



function announceChange(e:SliderEvent):void {

    //this line gives the current position of target slider
    trace(e.target.name + " value is now: " + e.target.value);
    
   //this code throw up an error. Obviously Im doing something wrong
    for (var i:int=0;i<xmlList.length(); i++)
    {
        trace(container["slider"+i].value);
    }
}

What I need is a function which collects ALL the slider values. Not just the one being moved. However I cant work out how to access the instance names i created trace(slider.name). Maybe I need to do is create an array then update the relevant slider value when it is changed. I have tried to do this, but I cant work it out.
Im a bit lost here, could I get a little guidance?

Thanks,
