Problem with getting xml into button url Array and xml text on seperate buttons

BoldLion · October 17, 2007, 3:23pm

I can get most of this xml file to load and loop through array but having a little trouble getting the read more and buy tickets buttons url. The way this app is suppose to work is when they click on a different button which has different instances but contains the same dynamic text fields. The same xml information loads in every button. I have no idea of how to set up the buttons for read more and buty tickets url to an outside website and have it dynamically linked to the xml file. Can someone please help me

Here is the actionscript i used

stop();
// import Fuse
import com.mosesSupposes.fuse.*;
// set up zigoEngine to use just simple shortcut animation
ZigoEngine.simpleSetup(Shortcuts, PennerEasing, FuseFMP);
var x:XML = new XML();
x.ignoreWhite = true; //ignore tabs and other white space

var urls:Array = new Array(); //stores urls for photos
var headers:Array = new Array(); // stores all the titles read in from xml
var subheaders:Array = new Array(); // stores all the subtitles read in from xml
var dates:Array = new Array(); // stores all the dates read in from xml
var occasions:Array = new Array(); // stores all the events read in from xml
var stages:Array = new Array(); // stores all the stage read in from xml
var whoIsOn:Number; //keeps track of which photo is on

x.onLoad = function() {
var photo:Array = this.firstChild.childNodes;
for(i=0;i<photo.length;i++) {
urls.push(photo*.attributes.url );
headers.push(photo*.attributes.header);
subheaders.push(photo*.attributes.subheader);
dates.push(photo*.attributes.date);
occasions.push(photo*.attributes.occasion);
stages.push(photo*.attributes.stage);
