Hi,  
i just tried to post this in the forum and my IE crashed, so forgive me if i double post. im trying to get this script to call different results from my onRelease depending on what button has been pressed. you will need a movieclip in your library with the linkage “button” and a textbox inside it called myText. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

stop();  
/\* Format XML text (Might not be necessary for this project)  
targetClip.myText.html = true;  
targetClip.myText.wordWrap = true;  
targetClip.myText.multiline = true;  
targetClip.myText.label.condenseWhite = true;  
_/  
/_ Apply CSS  
playlistStyle = new TextField.StyleSheet();  
playlistStyle.load(“playlist.css”);  
targetClip.myText.styleSheet = playlistStyle;  
_/  
// Parse XML  
songPlaylist = new XML();  
songPlaylist.ignoreWhite = true;  
songPlaylist.load(“playlist.xml”);  
songPlaylist.onLoad = function(success) {  
// XML Variables  
var playlist = songPlaylist.firstChild;  
var songs = playlist.childNodes;  
var songCount = songs.length;  
//  
if (success) {  
createPlaylist(songCount, songs);  
} else {  
trace(“XML file did not load, please refresh your browser.”);  
}  
};  
//  
// create buttons for xml  
createPlaylist = function (songCount, songs) {  
for (i=0; i\<songCount; i++) {  
// Variables (XML attributes)  
var myArtist = songs_.attributes.artist;  
var myTitle = songs\*.attributes.title;  
var myURL = songs\*.attributes.url;  
// Attach button movieclips  
targetClip = this.attachMovie(“button”, i, i);  
// Position Clips  
targetClip.\_x = 10;  
targetClip.\_y = 5+(i\*25);  
// Populate myText  
targetClip.myText.text = myArtist+" - "+myTitle;  
// Event Handlers and Mouse Events  
targetClip.onRollOver = onRollOverHandler;  
targetClip.onRollOut = onRollOutHandler;  
targetClip.onRelease = onReleaseHandler;  
}  
};  
// Events  
onRollOverHandler = function () {  
this.gotoAndStop(“rollOver”);  
};  
onRollOutHandler = function () {  
this.gotoAndStop(“rollOut”);  
};  
onReleaseHandler = function () {  
// should trace back an index number relative to the button released.  
};
