Hi All, thanks for taking the time to read. Just struggling with this a bit as I don’t work with flash day to day.

Essentially I have a XML file which I am trying to integrate a search feature. I have attached a zipped folder of my working example.

In this XML file is a collection of modules: 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 etc…

Each module is broken down further:  
1.1has: 1.1.1, 1.1.2, 1.1.3  
1.2has: 1.2.1, 1.2.2, 1.2.3, 1.2.4 etc…

I have a search feature that is searching the XML, then outputting the content if found.

Now this is working OK for a specific module listed above, for example, in my zipped example, I can get it to search 1.1.1, 1.1.2, 1.1.3 etc…

What I can’t seem to get working is how to search all of the modules sections: eg: 1.1: 1.1.1-1.1.x, 1.2: 1.2.1 – 1.2.x and so on depending on how much content is sorted in my XML.

I think it is a case of adding a third loop to what I have got already, but I am not sure as it doesn’t seem to work! Driving me potty!

If anyone could take a look and have a tinker that would be fab.
