Read xml with attachMovie

1

I have an xml file which i read in in flash and putting every ‘item’ beneath another one with attachMovie.

My xml looks like

  <work>
   <item>
   <title>
   <desc>
   <detail>
   </item>
   <item>
   ...
   </item>
   </work>

Actions on first frame with a movieclip in the library (actionscript export activated - name: itemClip - itemName and itemDetails are the two dynamic textfields in the movieclip ‘itemClip’)

menuXml = new XML();
 menuXml.ignoreWhite = true;
 menuXml.onLoad = function(success) {
   if (success) {
    menuItem = this.firstChild.childNodes;
    for (var i=0; i<menuItem.length; i++) {
 	  item = _root.attachMovie("itemClip", "itemClip" + i, i);
 	  //put item on stage: 50 is the start x and y value from top left
 	  //30 is the value to add to y for each new itemClip
 	  item._x = 50;
 	  item._y = 50+20*i;
 	  item.itemName.text = menuItem*.childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
 	  item.itemDetails.text = menuItem*.childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
 	  item.myUrl = menuItem*.childNodes[2].firstChild.nodeValue;
 	  item.onRelease = function() {
 	  getURL(this.myUrl,"_blank");
    }
   }
  }
 }
 menuXml.load("work.xml");

What i want is the following :

  1. The movieclip is now generated on the stage… but i would like to have it with a scroller… and with a mask on it… or in a scrollpane…

  2. I also would like to now if I click on an item, how can i pass a the value of a variable to another piece of actionscript in wich i will show the details in a dynamic textfield (or multiple textfields)… Just like in php : a list of all items and when you click on one, you’ll get the details of that item.

I only want to use flash with xml… no php if possible.

Thanks to the person who can help me out on this !!
