XML node attributes through loop

I’m having an issue grabbing xml node attributes through a multidimensional loop.

Here is the Actionscript:


-------------------------------------------------*/
var FourPlayerXML:String = "videoPlayer.xml";
var FourPlayerData:Array = new Array();
var FourPlayerAtts:Array = new Array("id", "title", "description", "lowURL", "highURL", "hdURL", "ipodURL", "thumbURL");
var vidNum:Number;
var attNum:Number = FourPlayerAtts.length;
/* Grab XML and dump it into sorting fuction
-------------------------------------------------*/
var vidXML:XML = new XML();
vidXML.ignoreWhite = true;
vidXML.onLoad = function(success) {
 if (success) {
  dumpData(vidXML);
 }
};
vidXML.load(FourPlayerXML);
/* Sort XML and dump it into the FourPlayerData array
-------------------------------------------------*/
function dumpData(xml) {
 var xmlChild = xml.firstChild.childNodes;
 vidNum = xmlChild.length;
 var i:Number;
 var j:Number;
 for (i=0; i<vidNum; i++) {
  FourPlayerData* = new Array();
  for (j=0; j<attNum; j++) {
   var d = FourPlayerAtts[j];
   var e = xmlChild*.attributes.FourPlayerAtts[j];
   FourPlayerData*[j] = e;
   trace(e);
  }
 }
}

And here’s my xml:


<videos>
 <video id="0" title="title0" description="description0" lowURL="lowURL0" highURL="highURL0" hdURL="hdURL0" ipodURL="ipodURL0" thumbURL="thumbURL0"></video>
 <video id="1" title="title1" description="description1" lowURL="lowURL1" highURL="highURL1" hdURL="hdURL1" ipodURL="ipodURL1" thumbURL="thumbURL1"></video>
</videos>

The line in question is

var e = xmlChild*.attributes.FourPlayerAtts[j];

Rather than xmlChild*.attributes.id, I’m trying to insert attribute names through an array. It keeps returning ‘undefined’.

Is this the best way to accomplish this? Is there a better way to make this work?

Thanks!
