```

Code is :

```auto

function testClick(evt:Event):void {

    trace("evt.target.id" + evt.target.id);

    var playersXML=xml..event[evt.target.id].players.player;

    for (var i=0; i<playersXML.length(); i++) {

        var playerName=xml..event[evt.target.id].players.player*.*;

        evt.target.parent.parent.parent.tabHolder.getChildByName(i).profilename.text=playerName;

        trace(xml..profile.(profilename == playerName));

    }

    trace("----------");

}

```

The code works fine, my only problem is that I need to section the displayed XML and and split is accordingly:

evt.target.parent.parent.parent.tabHolder.getChildByName(i).profilelocation.text = \<profilelocation\>Berlin, Germany\</profilelocation\>

evt.target.parent.parent.parent.tabHolder.getChildByName(i).headline.text = \<headline\>\<![CDATA[We meet up with Nathanael and asked him a few questions about his game…]]\>\</headline\>

etc…

Does anyone have any suggestions for this?

Thanks
