XML & AS3 - "code recognition"

programming flash
1

Hi!

New to these forums, and quite new to the XML/Flash enviroment aswell, however i have common knowledge of action script and have been using XML along with it in previous applications.

I’ve run into a quite stupid problem, i am to create sort of a “database viewer” with some basic functions, and i’ve run into two problems so far.

Problem 1:

 
[COLOR=red]**XML**[/COLOR]
<articles>
  **<arti nr="101">**
    <nr1>XXX</nr1>
    <nr2>XXX</nr2>
    <nr3>XXX</nr3>
    <nr4>XXX</nr4>
** </arti>**
**<arti nr="102">**
    <nr1>XXX</nr1>
    <nr2>XXX</nr2>
    <nr3>XXX</nr3>
    <nr4>XXX</nr4>
** </arti>**
</articles>

As you can see in the XML file the “arti” also assigns a number, so how do i state this in the actionscript to properly load the object?

Problem 2:

 
[COLOR=red]**ACTIONSCRIPT**[/COLOR]
function onLoaded(e:Event):void {
 myXML=new XML(e.target.data);
 var articles:XMLList=myXML.articles;

Say i am using the above to load my xml (all articles) how do I in an easy manner load one of the articles (arti nr=“101”) for example?
cause i want to access the numbered “arti” by an easy input of their assigned number (which in this case would be 101 or 102)

I know this is a pretty basic problem, and i’m sure i could “tame” it after juggling with it for a bit longer, but i need some perspective and help to make it happen faster :wink:

Help greatly appriciated!!
