XML media player in FLASH

programming flash
1

Hi i have created a simple media player in flash that uses xml to pull and play tracks.
i looked at the basic mediaplayer example in the INTRO to XML tutorials on Kirupa.
I have also reviewed the “squirrel menu” example since i need the mp3 tracks to be played from a DYNAMIC list (when clicked on - that particular track plays in the mp3 player.)

I have used a nested loop to define the <cd> nodes and the <mp3 track> nodes within each <cd> node.

my issue is how do i play a specific track from a specific cd?

i tried to reference the particular node and childnodes - but i get unable to open file error!

the code pulling and generating everything is as follows:

 
var item_spacing = 110; 
var item_count = 0; 
 
var tracklist = new Array();
var menu_xml = new XML(); 
menu_xml.ignoreWhite = true; 
 
menu_xml.onLoad = function(success){ 
  if (success) {
 
var items = menu_xml.firstChild.childNodes; 
  for (var i=0; i<items.length; i++) { 
     var cd = items*;
     var pic = items*.attributes.thumb; 
     var tracks = items*.attributes.tracktitles;
     var artist = items*.attributes.artistname;
     var albumName = items*.attributes.albumtitle;
 
var item_mc = menu_mc.attachMovie("item_panel","item"+item_count, item_count);   // linkageID, name, depth
  item_mc._y = item_count * item_spacing; 
  item_count++; 
 
item_mc.artistDisplay.text = "Artist:  "  +artist;   
item_mc.albumDisplay.text = "Album:  "  +albumName; 
item_mc.tracklisting.text = tracks;
item_mc.icon_border.icon_mov.loadMovie(pic);
item_mc.icon_border.icon_mov._x= 0;
item_mc.icon_border.icon_mov._y= 0;
item_mc.icon_border.onRelease = function () {
     playTrack();
   }
}
var theTrack = cd.childNodes;     //theTrack=song    
for (var i=0; i<theTrack.length; i++) { 
var currTrack = theTrack*.attributes.file; //track=currTrack 
_root.tracklist.push(currTrack);
   } 
 } 
} 
menu_xml.load("mix_playlist.xml"); 
 
 
// MEDIA PLAYER CONTROLS 
 
function playTrack(){
  _root.test_box.text= "hey";
  stopAllSounds();
var x:Number = _global.trackNo;
var tlength:Number = _root.tracklist.length;
   if (tlength <= x) {
    //reset ffw counter
    x = 0;
 }
 _global.trackNo = x;
 _root.track = new Sound();
   track.onID3 = function ()
   {
 tplay.trackID3Info.text = "";
 tplay.trackID3Info.text += "Title: " + track.id3.TIT2 + newline;
 tplay.trackID3Info.text += "Artist: " + track.id3.TPE1 + newline;
 tplay.AlbumInfo.text += "Album: " + track.id3.TALB + newline;
 tplay.AlbumInfo.text += "Genre: " + track.id3.COMM +
 newline;
 };
    track.loadSound (tracklist[0], true);
 }

forgive me about the indenting - i am a beginner with coding!

I know that the key is in the last line track.loadsound(tracklist[0])…maybe i should be targetting something else? to get a better idea of what i am trying to do please take a look at: www.ragemultimedia.com/theheadz/mixlisttest.htm
