Hey,
I am trying to create dynamic variables to post to a form based on the content of some xml. I have loaded 15 objects which act as buttons into my movie and each button will trace the exact title as wanted. What i want to know is that when i click the button the title is stored in a dynamically created variable to be used later for posted to a php form. Below is my code, any help will greatly be accepted.
// sprinkles function
function GenerateSprinkles(sprinkles_xml) {
var sprinkles_qty = sprinkles_xml.firstChild.attributes.maxi;
_global.sprinkles_images = sprinkles_xml.firstChild.childNodes;
_global.totalSprinklesheight = sprinkles_images.length*31;
for (var i = 0; i<sprinkles_images.length; i++) {
var varbuttons = "select"+i;
var currentSprinkles = sprinkles_images*;
_global.current_sprinkles_mc = sprinkles_menu.createEmptyMovieClip("sprinkles_object"+i, i);
current_sprinkles_mc._y = i*sprinkles_space;
current_sprinkles_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("thumb_sprinkles_container",0);
if (currentSprinkles.attributes.thumb.length == 0) {
current_sprinkles_mc.thumb_sprinkles_container.attachMovie("sprinkles_mc","sprinkles_mc_list",1);
