ok, ill go ahead and supply my action script and xml first, heres the actionscript
[syntax="actionscript"]// import this so it can be used to set the scope of the combobox listener and the xml onload routine
import mx.utils.Delegate;
// declare variables
var modes:Array;
var update:String;
var dirpath:String;
// create a new color object to associate with the bgcolor movieclip
// set up the XML instance
var newxml:XML = new XML();
// initialize items on stage
_global.style.setStyle("fontFamily", "Verdana");
_global.style.setStyle("fontSize", 11);
// define what should happen when the XML loads
// (read data into update, dirpath, and mode variables)
function onXmlLoaded(success:Boolean) {
if (success) {
// make a handle to the root node in the xml
var mainnode:XMLNode = newxml.firstChild;
update = mainnode.attributes.lastupdate;
dirpath = mainnode.attributes.dir;
// set up an array of all mode nodes
var minorsnodes:Array = newxml.firstChild.firstChild.nextSibling.childNodes;
for (var i:Number = 0; i < minorsnodes.length; i++) {
// for each mode node:
var minornode:XMLNode = minorsnodes[i];
modes.push(
{i:i+1,
pname:minornode.attributes.name,
desc:minornode.childNodes[i].attributes.name
});
//2d array
//xslt html
}
// data is all read and put in the right place -- now setup the screen
// using this data
setup();
} else {
trace('error reading XML');
}
}
function setup() {
// set up chooseperson dropdown
chooseperson.labelField = "pname";
chooseperson.dataProvider = modes;
chooseperson.addEventListener("change", Delegate.create(this, loadScreen));
}
function loadScreen(evt:Object) {
var thisitem:Object = evt.target.selectedItem;
ta9.text = thisitem.desc;
ta2.text = thisitem.desc1;
ta3.text = thisitem.desc2;
ta4.text = thisitem.desc3;
ta5.text = thisitem.score;
ta.vPosition = 0;
}
function init() {
// initialize the mode array
modes = [{pname:"Choose one"}];
names = [{desc:"Select a mode from the dropdown menu"}];
// set up the xml instance to ignore whitespace between tags
newxml.ignoreWhite = true;
// set the scope of the onLoad function to the main timeline, not newxml
newxml.onLoad = Delegate.create(this, onXmlLoaded);
// start the xml loading
newxml.load("1.xml");
}

Code: Select all
var minorsnodes:Array = newxml.firstChild.firstChild.nextSibling.childNodes;
for (var i:Number = 0; i < minorsnodes.length; i++) {
// for each mode node:
var minornode:XMLNode = minorsnodes[i];
modes.push(
