XML attribute error

programming flash
1

Hi KirupaPeople!

I’ve created a simple flash movie that pulls search results from an xml file generated by php from an sql database.

I’ve created a for loop that goes through each of the results and displays their attributes, e.g. an image, their username and a location. Now each user also has a unique ID that i would like to use to link to a unique page showing more of their details.

Now this loop works perfectly fine showing each users details in succession, except that when i use an onRelease action on the search result, to send the user to the unique page and forward the ID variable, it always returns the ID variable of the last item in the list, no matter which item i click on.

can’t figure out for the life of me why this should be so because all the other variables are pulled out fine from the xml file.

My code is as below.

var searchXML:XML = new XML();
searchXML.ignoreWhite = true;
searchXML.onLoad = function() {
    //show user search terms
    resultsheader_txt.text = "Search Results: you searched for '"+_root.searchterm+"' in "+_root.searchcriteria+".";
    //create array from XML
    var resultsList:Array = this.firstChild.childNodes;
    //set spacing between results
    var spacing:Number = 100;
    //cycle through results
    for (i=0; i<resultsList.length; i++) {
        itemEntry = resultsList*.attributes;
        //trace(i+itemEntry.username);
        //create mc for each result
        resultHolder = searchresults_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("result"+i, i);
        //set spacing
        resultHolder._y = i*spacing;
        //create mc for userimage & load image
        thumbLoader = resultHolder.createEmptyMovieClip("result_image", i+1);
        thumbLoader.loadMovie("userimages/"+itemEntry.image);
        //create text fields for username & location
        resultHolder.createTextField("username_txt", this.getNextHighestDepth(), 100, 10, 150, 30);
        resultHolder.createTextField("location_txt", this.getNextHighestDepth()-1000, 100, 30, 150, 30);
        //fill textfields & format
        resultHolder.username_txt.text = itemEntry.username;
        resultHolder.username_txt.setTextFormat(username_fmt);
        resultHolder.location_txt.text = itemEntry.location;
        resultHolder.location_txt.setTextFormat(location_fmt);
        //set userID and send to viewprofile page
        resultHolder.onRelease = function() {
            trace(itemEntry.userID);
            _root.viewUser = itemEntry.userID;
            _root.gotoAndPlay("viewprofile");
        };
    }
    play();
};

The problem is within the onRelease action as if i replace the

resultHolder.onRelease = function() {
            trace(itemEntry.userID);
}

code with

 resultHolder.onRelease = function() {
            trace(itemEntry.username);

or any other attribute it still outputs the last item in the list.

Many thanks in advance for your help!
