Xml.appendChild problem

1

hi guys,

I am trying to make a xml structure like the following in flash itself.

<index>
      <chapter1>
              <topic1>
                   <content1>this is content1</content1>
                   <content2>this is content2</content2>
             </topic1>
             <topic2>
                   <content1>this is content1</content1>
                   <content2>this is content2</content2>
             </topic2>
             <topic3>
                   <content1>this is content1</content1>
                   <content2>this is content2</content2>
             </topic3>
      </chapter1>
      <chapter2>
              <topic1>
                   <content1>this is content1</content1>
                   <content2>this is content2</content2>
             </topic1>
             <topic2>
                    <content1>this is content1</content1>
                    <content2>this is content2</content2>
              </topic2>
             <topic3>
                    <content1>this is content1</content1>
                    <content2>this is content2</content2>
              </topic3>
      </chapter2>
      <chapter3>
              <topic1>
                   <content1>this is content1</content1>
                   <content2>this is content2</content2>
             </topic1>
             <topic2>
                    <content1>this is content1</content1>
                    <content2>this is content2</content2>
              </topic2>
             <topic3>
                    <content1>this is content1</content1>
                    <content2>this is content2</content2>
              </topic3>
      </chapter3>
</index>

To create this structure in flash itself, i have create a XML object and used [COLOR=Red]appendChild[/COLOR],
[COLOR=Red]createElement [/COLOR]methods. The code is below.


var xml:XML = new XML();
var node:XMLNode = xml.createElement("index");


var chapter1:XMLNode = xml.createElement("chapter1");
var chapter2:XMLNode = xml.createElement("chapter2");
var chapter3:XMLNode = xml.createElement("chapter3");

var topic1:XMLNode = xml.createElement("topic1");
var topic2:XMLNode = xml.createElement("topic2");
var topic3:XMLNode = xml.createElement("topic3");

var content1:XMLNode = xml.createElement("content1");
var content2:XMLNode = xml.createElement("content2");

var txtNodes1:XMLNode = xml.createElement("this is content1");
var txtNodes2:XMLNode = xml.createElement("this is content2");

var chapters:Array = [chapter1, chapter2, chapter3];
var topics:Array = [topic1, topic2, topic3];
var contents:Array = [content1, content2];
var txtNodes:Array = [txtNodes1, txtNodes2];


for (var i:Number = 0; i<chapters.length; i++) {

    var chapter:XMLNode = chapters*;

    for (var j:Number = 0; j<topics.length; j++) {

        var topic:XMLNode = topics[j];

        for (var k:Number = 0; k<contents.length; k++) {

            var content:XMLNode = contents[k];
            content.appendChild(txtNodes[k]);
            topic.appendChild(contents[k]);

        }

        chapter.appendChild(topic);

    }

    node.appendChild(chapter);
}
xml.appendChild(node);
trace(xml);

Strangely after creating the structure, i have found [COLOR=Red]topics,content[/COLOR] been added not to all chapters but the last chapter. I don’t know why? It should show [COLOR=Red]topics, contents[/COLOR] in every chapter as per the loop, but its not.

i think its got some problem with [COLOR=Red]xml.appendChild [/COLOR]method.

any ideas?

thanks
